After Sporting, Colombia. Luis Suárez scores for the 7th game in a row

Luis Suárez continued the ‘sleeping vein’ denoted in Sporting, and scored the goal that was worth a draw with Colombia, the pass of Richard Ríos, player loaned by Benfica to Al-Ittihad Jeddah.

Mmexico and Colombia initialled a tie to a ball in the early morning from Saturday to Sunday, at the long awaited meeting of particular character played at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, in the North American state of Maryland, which was attended by a series of 'known faces' of Portuguese football.

 

The goal that inaugurated the marker appeared just after the passage of the ninth minute, when Richard Ríos, a player loaned by Benfica to Al-Ittihad Jeddah, worked well in the right wing of the attack and crossed the ball to the ‘heart’ of the large area, where Luis Suárez, from Sporting, appeared, diverting it, head-on, to the bottom of the goal to the guard of Raúl Rangel.

The answer would appear in the second half, at 62 minutes, following a brilliant individual initiative by Gilberto Mora, creative of only 17 years of age, which, in the past summer transfer market, came to be associated with the interest of FC Porto, Sporting and Benfica.

It was Santiago Giménez, who ended up not leaving the bench of alternates, advanced given by AC Milan to FC Porto, who, in the last few days, worked alongside the other teammates of the Mexican team, after presenting signs of muscle overload, so Rafa Márquez chose not to risk it.

Colombia now turns its attention to the two games of preparation still ahead, against Paraguay (at 1:00 a.m., Continental Portugal time, Saturday, at Sports Illustrated Stadium, Harrison, New Jersey) and Peru (at 4:00 a.m., Nu Stadium, Miami, Florida).

Mexico, for its part, will hold three more friendly against Peru (at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey), the United States of America (at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona) and Chile (at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California).

Unstoppable Luis Suárez at risk for Sporting Braga-Sporting

After the authentic ‘novel’ that marked the last summer transfer market (in which he committed himself to Hakan Safi, who would eventually be defeated by Aziz Yildrim in the elections for the presidency of Fenerbahçe), which ended with the continuity in Sporting, Luis Suárez finally met the ‘winner’.

In such a way that this was already the seventh consecutive meeting of the ‘cafetero’ to make the taste at foot, after having done it against Alverca (victory, by 3-1), Rio Ave (victory, by 0-4, with right to ‘bis’), National (victory, by 2-0, also with a assistance), Galatasaray (victory, by 3-1), Famalicão (match to a ball) and Arouca (match to two balls).

It is still almost certain that the advance will not return to Portugal in time to enter the accounts of Rui Borges for what is the meeting ‘poster head’ of the eighth day of the I Liga, before Sporting Braga, in Pedreira, which is scheduled for 8:15 of October 9th, Friday, just over 48 hours after Colombia-Chile.
