Quenda scores in one of the biggest ever under-21 wins, Sporting gem shines | OneFootball

The Portuguese under-21 national football team won, this Tuesday, October 14, against their Gibraltar counterparts by 11-0, and moved clear at the top of Group B in qualifying for the European Championship in this category, to be played in 2027. Diogo Travassos (brace) and Geovany Quenda - who has been closely followed by Chelsea - were the Sporting players on the scoresheet.

In Gibraltar, the Quinas team put together one of their biggest wins ever with goals from Diogo Travassos (8' and 84), Gustavo Varela (11 and 67), Rodrigo Mora (28), Fábio Baldé (51), Mateus Fernandes (56), Gabriel Brás (57), Youssef Chermiti (70), Gustavo Sá (90, from the penalty spot) and Geovany Quenda (90+2).

Portugal, still unbeaten in qualifying, tops Group B with 12 points, three more than second-placed Czechia, who lost 2-1 today to Bulgaria, third with seven points. The team coached by Luís Freire, who in previous rounds beat Azerbaijan (5-0), Scotland (2-0) and Bulgaria (3-0), visits Czechia next, on November 18.

The biggest-ever win for Portugal’s under-21s in official matches has been equaled. The team led by Luís Freire thus replicated the victory achieved on October 7, 2021 against Liechtenstein, in the qualifying duel for the 2023 European Under-21 Championship.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Geovany Quenda - valued at 45 million euros - has featured in eleven matches, five as a used substitute and six as a starter. In 658 minutes played, the prodigy from the Alvalade club already has one goal and four assists.
