It was a dream night for Geovany Quenda. In his second game as a starter for Sporting in the 2025/26 season, the 'number 7' of the lions scored in the victory against Kairat, by 4-1, becoming the youngest Portuguese ever to score in the Champions League.
The forward from Clube de Alvalade closed the score for the lions at the 68th minute, with a high-level play, reaching this milestone at 18 years, four months, and 20 days. In this way, Quenda surpassed Gonçalo Guedes, who held this position since 2015/16, when he scored for Benfica in the Champions, at 19 years, 10 months, and two days.
With this victory - the fifth in seven matches this season -, the team led by Rui Borges thus add the first three points in the competition. The next game in the international competition is scheduled for Wednesday, October 1st, at 8:00 PM, away from home, against the Italians from Naples.
