Bruno Lage’s goal machine reaches milestone for Benfica vs Santa Clara | OneFootball

Last night, Benfica slipped up against Santa Clara (1-1), in what was the first match after the international break. Despite the result, Vangelis Pavlidis once again found the back of the net, reaching a new milestone as Bruno Lage's go-to striker.

An undisputed starter for the Setubal native, as has been the case this season, the Greek forward opened the scoring at Estádio da Luz, in the second half, thus scoring his third goal of the current season, since its official start, in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.

Thus, the number 14, according to data released by the Playmaker portal. The Hellenic international scored his first goal at Estádio da Luz. An interesting fact is that Pavlidis always opened the scoring in last night's match, against the Azoreans, just as it had happened with the lions and Estrela da Amadora.

In another post, also shared by the same statistics portal, it was noted that Santa Clara has become the main victim of the Greek striker, equalling Porto. Since his arrival in 2024/25, the number 14 has scored three goals against the islanders and dragons.

In this 25/26 sports season, Vangelis Pavlidis - currently valued at 35 million euros - has already played nine official matches for the Eagles: four for the Champions League, four for the league and one for the Supertaça. The Greek striker has scored three goals, the first in the victory against Sporting, another in Reboleira, against Estrela da Amadora and in the draw with Santa Clara.
