"I have been working hard to help the team, obviously, it was an inspiration I had, I think it went well and I managed to score my first goal here at Alvalade Stadium", he began, before moving on to what was Sporting's goal in the match.

"We had the goal of dominating the game and we managed to score at the end of the first half, which was important for us. Then, from my point of view, we managed to hold the game and it was the most important thing for the team", he said, before being asked if he thinks he should have more minutes: "Yes, I have quality, my colleagues also have quality. As we are in a big club, we have to always be at our best to be able to help the team".

This season, with the Sporting shirt, Geovany Quenda - valued at 45 million euros - participated in seven matches, five as a used substitute and two as a starter. In the 315 minutes added up, the new 'number 7' of the Alvalade Club already has one goal and four assists.

With this victory - the fifth in seven matches this season -, the team led by Rui Borges thus adds the first three points in the competition. The next match in the international competition is scheduled for Wednesday, October 1, at 8:00 p.m., away from home, against the Italians from Naples.
