Salvador Blopa breaks Sporting legend’s record | OneFootball

Fernando Peyroteo was surpassed by Salvador Blopa as the youngest ever to score twice in his debut match while playing for Sporting. The Alvalade club played, last Wednesday, October 28th, the quarter-finals of the League Cup, which ended in a 5-1 victory.

The match ended in a green and white rout: 5-1 on the scoreboard, and qualification for the final four of the League Cup was confirmed, on a record-breaking night: Salvador Blopa became the first homegrown player from Sporting to score twice in his debut match since the National Junior Championship began (1938/39).

In addition to that, Salvador Blopa surpassed a legendary Sporting name: he became the youngest ever to score twice for Sporting, at 18 years and five months old. Behind him now is Peyroteo, who held the record after scoring two goals at 19 years and seven months of age.

Salvador Blopa, it should be remembered, scored Sporting’s second goal in the match against Alverca. The youngster, who started on the left wing for the lions, took advantage of great work by Fotis Ioannidis in the 30th minute to put Sporting ahead 2-0.

In the second half, in the 70th minute, the youngster shone again. This time it was Geovany Quenda who set up Salvador Blopa, who scored to make it 4-0 for Sporting. The young player thus completed his brace in his debut match for the main green and white team, right at the Estádio de Alvalade.
