The ‘Matador’ barely needed 38 minutes to complete a hat-trick against Sao Luiz
Those from Porto Alegre prevailed 4-1
The Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez shone this Tuesday in his debut in Brazilian football with a triplet in the match for the title of the Gaúcha Cup Winners’ Cupin which Gremio defeated Sao Luiz 4-1 in Porto Alegre.
After only four minutes of rolling the ball on the pitch, the Uruguayan scored the first goal with a high kick that left goalkeeper Gabriel Félix untouched. The joy of the fans at the Arena Gremio stadium was temporarily dampened minutes later when Paulinho equalized for Sao Luiz, but almost immediately Bitello put Gremio back in the lead, which Suárez finished reaffirming in the 30th minute and reconfirmed eight minutes later when completed the treble.
It is the best performance in a debut in the career of the striker, whose maximum goals scored so far had been two goals against Real Madrid in 2020, by his own admission after the first half. The 35-year-old Uruguayan will be linked to the Porto Alegre club until December 2024.
