The attacking star scored a goal in each half as Sporting defeated Casa Pia 3–1.

The Swedish national team attacker opened the scoring in a quick counter-attack when he cut in from the left flank and shot to make it 2–0 after a little over half an hour.

In the second half, he sealed the 3–1 win on a penalty.

Earlier in the week, he also scored two goals against Estoril.

Thus, he has scored 27 league goals for Sporting and leads the scoring league comfortably.

A strong form indication ahead of the national team gathering at the end of March when Sweden plays friendly matches against Luxembourg (22 March away) and Northern Ireland (25 March in Solna).

Sporting leads the Portuguese league, three points ahead of Benfica who have one game less played.
