Everton winger Yannick Bolasie was satisfied with his Sporting CP debut.
The midfielde, on-loan with Sporting, featured in the 1-1 draw with Boavista.
He said, "I felt good and this is my second game this season. I had no preseason but with the help of my colleagues I managed to finish the game well.
"It was a difficult game because Boavista scored early and we were chasing for the 90 minutes.
"We want to do better than we did last season, but we know it will be difficult. There are very difficult stadiums to visit. I like these challenges and they worked hard to hire me."
