Napoli damages the party to Sporting de Lisbon in the Champions
The context prior to both was marked by the superiority of the champion of series A.
Napoli first hit an intense and vertical game, which put a disorganized sporting in defense against the ropes. The Portuguese team harshly resisted the onslaught, but ended up granting spaces that the premises took advantage of the advantage. It was only to the penalty executed with coldness by Suárez that visitors could get back into the game, before the Neapolitan team sentenced the final 2-1.
The Colombian reached this duel at the best moment of his career since he landed in Europe. He had scored the winning goal against Estoril in the Primeira Liga and was chosen the best player of the game, consolidating as the offensive reference of Sporting.
That good present moved to the Champions League, in which on Wednesday he signed his first score of the season in the most prestigious tournament on the continent, ratifying that a dream start lives.
