StrasbourgTwo goal contributions Sunday
Sousa scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and one chance created in Sunday's 6-2 victory versus Troyes.
Analysis: Sousa gave Strasbourg a lead they would never relinquish in the 42nd minute, striking two minutes after Jacobo Ortega's equalizer to complete a devastating two-goal burst against the run of play and send the visitors in ahead at halftime despite Troyes having dominated the opening 40 minutes. His goal was the pivotal moment of the contest, compounding Troyes' misfortune before they could recover their composure after falling level. Sousa also found the assist for Conrad Harder's first goal as a Racing player, ending a complete and decent shift against ESTAC.
Joins Strasbourg on five-year deal
Sousa has signed for RC Strasbourg Alsace on a five-year deal from Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes, his new club announced.
Analysis: Sousa joined the Vitoria Guimaraes academy at the age of eight back in 2014 and was described by local outlets in Porugal as one of the most talented players to come through the club's academy. Last season saw him become a key contributor for the team, featuring in 28 matches and registering one goal and one assist, and at 20 years old he is now poised for his first venture outside of Portugal.
