Borja Sainz’s strike against Alverca named “Goal of the Month” | OneFootball

After distinctions awarded to Diogo Costa, Jan Bednarek, and Francesco Farioli, Borja Sainz was also honored by Liga Portugal: his magnificent curling shot in FC Porto's 3-0 victory in Alverca on December 22 was chosen as Goal of the Month.

Scorer of two goals in the 15th round, Borja Sainz electrified the stands in the 69th minute by receiving a pass from Francisco Moura and, with a first-time shot, placing the ball in the far top corner of the Ribatejo goal.

Also in the running on the Liga Portugal website were the precise shots of Ricardo Horta (SC Braga) against FC Arouca, Kikas (Estrela Amadora) against FC Arouca, Tunde (AFS) against CD Nacional, Alexsandro Amorim (FC Alverca) against Estoril Praia, and Aursnes (Benfica) against SC Braga, but Borja Sainz's execution in Alverca ended up being the voters' favorite.

FC Porto completed the best first half of the championship's history – 49 points out of a possible 51 – and its representatives collected four monthly awards in December: Goalkeeper of the Month, Defender of the Month, Coach of the Month, and Goal of the Month.
