Gyokeres scored twice (26 goals, contractual objective) and assisted; Trincão continues to justify his bet on the eleven and Hjulmand grows and becomes more and more ‘boss’
A figura: Gyopkeres (8)
He is, without a doubt, a different player. A fantastic traction in a game that seemed more like an off-road game. He had a police force of four men per square meter, but he still scored two goals (a header to the first post, deflecting the ball to the second and taking advantage of a marking error), he made an assist, the result of excellent vision of the game from Pedro Gonçalves deep and had another handful of good interventions, such as that millimeter pass, at 51′, to isolate Trincão, who advanced the ball too much. He enjoys every run, smiles with every move, is enthusiastic and is worth every million that Sporting is paying for him.
Franco Israel (6) — Uruguayan Sure to grab, quick to let go. That delay by Eduardo Quaresma was treacherous and the Uruguayan had to concede a corner. He started the second half in trouble, but was brave when he left at the feet of Lucho Vega (55′).
Eduardo Quaresma (6) — The play in the 65th minute, a pass from Nuno Santos, for the run of the number 72, who shot for a great save by Kieszek, stood out. He is confident, responding to the demands, he accomplished his mission, leaving with three minutes to go.
Coates (6) — The voice of experience (and command) associated with his physical build made him a barrier for his compatriot’s goal. He came close to the goal, in the 55th minute, with a header, with Kieszek rising, but the central defender was in an irregular position.
Matheus Reis (6) — A millimetric cross soon opened, at 5′, with Gyokeres hitting the post after a half-baked header attempt, with the ball giving the impression that it hit the stump. He also gave valuable help to Coates (27′), in clearing the front zone, after Jair Silva’s run.
Geny Catamo (7) — Returned to ownership, showed credentials. A blind hit by Pedro Empis and Lucho Veja (29′) sending a cross into the area seemed to have ended up in the hands of Vasco Oliveira, but the penalty was reversed. He won practically every duel on the wing. An added value, without a doubt.
Wheelman (7) — Growing with each game. The security he provides in his range of action allows Edwards to play as a winger or even as a second striker. Note the perfect pass, before the break, when Trincão passed the ball over Kieszek. A real trump ace.
Pedro Gonçalves (7) — In one minute (36′) he cleared the central zone, after Van der Gaag had climbed the left wing, and in the next he responded in the best way to Gyokeres’ call and scored. At 82′ he still had the breath to shoot hard, already in the area, with the Polish goalkeeper (again) shining. In a castle setting, he was king.
Nuno Santos (7) — He took the corner that led to the first goal, making the ball arc towards Gyokeres’ head (if he had a remote control, he hid it well); in the second goal, it was from his feet that the ball came out for the Swede to assist and even shot just past the left post, at 89′, in a quick transition. Puskás didn’t win, but that left foot does damage. Oh, it’s done.
Edwards (7) — An authentic ballet began early between the defenders (who, out of tune, never managed to find their rhythm), in the 12th minute there was a shot that was loose, but the unbalancing streak came to the fore. Perfect ball handling, a wobble that breaks any opponent. Yellow could have been avoided, because the stomp was unnecessary. Owner of the set pieces on the right side, he places the ball wherever he wants, tense, even in the form of a shot at the goal, he assisted for the third (from a corner).
Trincao (7) — Increasing with each game, he is justifying the bet that Rúben Amorim has made in getting him to play from the start. He went into the game with one thing in mind: to score. He tried, but he didn’t succeed. At 23′, a shot full of intention, from the heart of the area, was denied by Kieszek; at 44’a header, in a superb movement, but Vasco Oliveira took the bread from his mouth; At 41′ he sacrificed himself, with a yellow card, to stop Leiri’s attack. He controls changes of speed well and, from outside the area, always looks for a shot.
Gonçalo Inácio (5) — He entered at 73′, positioned himself in his place and nothing happened there.
Esgaio (-) — First-time shot, 84′, full of intention.
Morita (-) — Returning from the Asian Cup, he played 20 minutes, calculated by the technical team.
Daniel Bragança (-) — He played 10 minutes and made a good cross into the heart of the area.
Neto (-) — It came in and it didn’t even heat up… He immediately saw a yellow card, due to obstruction.
