"Luis Suarez scored a brace to secure Sporting CP a dramatic 2-1 win over reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. PSG looked like they had salvaged a point after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's superb strike, but instead, their hopes of a top-eight finish took a blow. The visitors made a strong start at the Estadio Jose Alvalade as Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Senny Mayulu forced Rui Silva into early saves."
"And PSG thought they had opened the scoring just past the half-hour mark when Fabian Ruiz planted an unmarked header past the stranded Silva, but the goal was overturned following a VAR review for a foul by Mayulu in the build-up. They endured similar frustration 10 minutes later; Mendes tapped home after Warren Zaire-Emery's cross was not dealt with, but Ousmane Dembele was adjudged to have fouled Silva prior to the goal."
"But against the run of play, the hosts took the lead in the 74th minute, with Suarez profiting from a fortunate deflection. Geny Catamo's strike hit Georgios Vagiannidis but fell straight to the Colombian, who slotted home. Kvaratskhelia then produced a magic moment five minutes later, cutting inside from the left to bend a wonderful effort into the far-top corner."
Sporting CP defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in the Champions League as Luis Suarez scored both goals. PSG started strongly, forcing early saves from Rui Silva and having three goals overturned by VAR — Fabian Ruiz's header ruled out for a Mayulu foul, a Mendes finish disallowed for an Ousmane Dembele foul, and a Dembele header chalked off for offside. Sporting took the lead in the 74th minute after Geny Catamo's strike deflected to Suarez, who scored. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia equalised with a curling effort five minutes later, but Suarez headed home a 90th-minute rebound to seal all three points. PSG's hopes of a top-eight finish suffered a setback.
