Rui Borges has plenty to smile about, Sporting just can’t stop scoring | OneFootball

Despite the impressive number of goals scored by Viktor Gyokeres and his departure to Arsenal, Sporting's players have shown that they are not dependent on the Swedish forward to score heavily in the match. By the sixth round, Rui Borges' pupils gave the best response and are the most accurate attack in the Liga Portugal Betclic.

According to statistics, the 2025/26 Sporting squad is the second highest-scoring team of the Alvalade Club since the turn of the 21st century. After the victory against Moreirense by 3-0, on September 22, the green and whites reached an impressive record of 16 goals scored, with an average of 3 goals per game.

In this new millennium, only Sporting from the 2024/25 season surpassed the numbers of the current season, with 22 goals scored in six games. Of those more than two dozen accurate shots, 11 were scored by Viktor Gyokeres, numbers that show a greater dependence on a single man to damage the opponents' ambitions, something that does not happen in 2025/26.

The 16 goals scored by Rui Borges' pupils show a greater democracy in their authors, as they are more distributed. In this first half-dozen rounds in Liga Portugal, Pote has been the top scorer with five, followed by Luis Suárez with four and Francisco Trincão closing the podium with three.

Sporting seeks to increase its goal tally next Saturday, September 27, against Estoril, in a match related to the seventh round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Ian Cathro will be played at 8:30 PM, at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, the opponent's stronghold.
