Sudakov leaves Sporting’s rival in the dust, lands major award for Benfica | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov’s goal - which gave Napoli a real scare - against Casa Pia was chosen as the best goal of November. The Sport Lisboa e Benfica star came out on top against the competition, namely Luis Suárez, Sporting’s striker, as well as Gianluca Prestianni, Naïs Djouahra (Arouca), and Dinis Pinto (Moreirense).

Magic finished with a Ukrainian touch

The magical moment happened in the 17th minute, concluding a collective move of excellent technical quality. Richard Ríos started the play, Amar Dedic crossed with precision, and Vangelis Pavlidis headed the ball to the number 10. The thunderous shot opened the scoring at the Cathedral.

The race for the trophy included other names, besides the green-and-white striker. Also on the list were Naïs Djouahra from Arouca and Dinis Pinto from Moreirense. Even his teammate Gianluca Prestianni was nominated, but the Ukrainian international prevailed over all direct opponents.

Stunning goal in a bitter match for the Eagles

Despite the individual award, the match left a bitter taste for the Reds, who dropped important points in the title race. The 2-2 draw was marked by controversial refereeing, notably the penalty given against António Silva for an alleged handball.

This season, playing for Benfica, Georgiy Sudakov has played 18 matches across various official competitions. In the 1,367 minutes he’s been on the pitch, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder has scored four goals and provided two assists, establishing himself as an influential piece in José Mourinho’s attacking setup.
