Geny starts in Mozambique win, but Sporting man has worrying record | OneFootball

The Mozambique national team won against Botswana this Sunday, September 8th, with a score of 2-0. Geny Catamo was once again chosen as a starter by Chiquinho Conde, although he was substituted in the 69th minute. Even so, the Sporting player has now played his seventh match this season between the national team and the Alvalade club, but still without any goal contributions.

This match marked the return of the national team to the Zimpeto National Stadium in the capital, Maputo, after CAF authorized daytime sporting events with a limit of 15,000 spectators. After the defeat in the last match, Mozambique returns to winning ways.

The "Mambas" started strong and opened the scoring just six minutes in. In the second half, it was Faizal Bengal’s turn, at 71 minutes, to seal the victory. With this result, Mozambique rises to second place in Group G, with 15 points, behind Algeria, who have 18 (with one game less).

Despite a less impressive start to the season, Sporting wants to move forward with a salary review for the player, which will see the salary of the green and white right winger increase considerably, after he stayed at Alvalade following the close of the transfer window.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has already played five matches, always as a starter. In the 341 minutes he has been on the pitch, the left-footer has yet to score or provide an assist.
