Luis Suarez scored a brace to safe Sporting CP a dramatic 2-1 win over reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain within the Champions League.
PSG appeared like that they had salvaged a degree after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s very good strike, however as a substitute, their hopes of a top-eight end took a blow.
The guests made a robust begin on the Estadio Jose Alvalade as Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Senny Mayulu pressured Rui Silva into early saves.
And PSG thought that they had opened the scoring simply previous the half-hour mark when Fabian Ruiz planted an unmarked header previous the stranded Silva, however the purpose was overturned following a VAR evaluation for a foul by Mayulu within the build-up.
They endured comparable frustration 10 minutes later; Mendes tapped house after Warren Zaire-Emery’s cross was not handled, however Ousmane Dembele was adjudged to have fouled Silva previous to the purpose.
Sporting wasted possibilities on both aspect of half-time earlier than a 3rd PSG purpose was overruled, with Dembele this time straying offside earlier than he nodded in Need Doue’s supply.
However towards the run of play, the hosts took the lead within the 74th minute, with Suarez cashing in on a lucky deflection. Geny Catamo’s strike hit Georgios Vagiannidis however fell straight to the Colombian, who slotted house.
Kvaratskhelia then produced a magic second 5 minutes later, reducing inside from the left to bend a beautiful effort into the far-top nook.
However it might depend for nothing ultimately as Suarez despatched the stadium into raptures when he nodded within the rebound of Trincao’s saved effort within the ninetieth minute, sealing all three factors.
