Viktor Gyökeres' goal success continues into the new year as well.
After 62 goals in 2024, the Swedish football striker began 2025 with a hat-trick when his Sporting met Vitoria Guimaraes
Gyökeres scored two goals in twelve minutes at the start of the match. The first came in the second minute, the second in the 14th.
In the 57th minute, it was time again – for the 26-year-old's third goal of the evening and his 21st goal in the league this season.
However, Sporting and its new coach João Pereira did not get to go home to Lisbon with a win. Vitoria turned the game around and led 4–3 going into extra time. Five minutes in, Francisco Trincao equalized to 4–4.
Just over a week ago, Pereira took over after Rui Borges was fired.
