The Swedish striker's first goal came in the 19th minute, capitalizing on a loose deflection. His second, a powerful strike, followed 12 minutes later. Gyokeres completed his hat-trick with a confidently converted penalty just before halftime.
Rodrigo Pinho's first-half goal for Estrela Amadora proved mere consolation as Sporting dominated. Maximiliano Araujo sealed the victory with the fifth goal in the 85th minute.
Amorim, facing questions about his Manchester United move, expressed gratitude to Sporting fans. "In the next home game... I'll be there to see what the fans want to give me," he said. "I understand their anger, but we move on, and time heals everything. It was the best period of my life."
Gyokeres, linked to Manchester United, remained coy. "I don't know. I'm here, and as you can see, I enjoy it." His performance will undoubtedly spark excitement among Manchester United fans.
