Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Sporting beat CD Nacional 2-0 in the Primeira Liga, with Luis Javier Suárez at the heart of both goals. The hosts controlled the game from early on, but the opening goal had to wait until the 32nd minute. A busy first half also saw three yellow cards, for Maximiliano Araújo, Sergi Altimira and Markus Jensen.

Suárez put Sporting ahead in the 32nd minute, and within four minutes of the restart he turned provider, setting up Flávio Gonçalves to make it 2-0. CD Nacional had no response, and Sporting’s early second-half goal effectively ended the contest.

The statistics underline how one-sided this was: Sporting had 68% possession, 18 shots to three, and 12 corners to none. Their expected goals of 2.16 and three big chances missed show they created enough for a more comfortable scoreline, with Suárez the standout performer for a very dominant side.
