Georgiy Sudakov dedicated the goal he scored in the Benfica - Rio Ave match to his newborn daughter. The Ukrainian midfielder was one of the standout players in the last match of the team, having scored for the Eagles and received the Man of the Match award at the end of the game.
This special dedication was revealed by the player himself through a message shared on his personal Instagram page. Sudakov posted some images from the match, along with a caption that read: "A special goal for my daughter".
It's worth remembering that Sudakov was already a father to a girl, but he recently had another daughter. The player even went through very difficult times right after his arrival at Benfica, when his house in Ukraine was bombed with his wife inside - at the time, she was still pregnant with the couple's baby.
Fortunately, the situation ended without any serious problems for Sudakov's family, and his wife later gave birth to the couple's second daughter. This moment remains present in the player's mind, who decided to dedicate the goal, which at the time was the 1-0 for Benfica, to his newborn.
The goal scored in the Benfica - Rio Ave match was Sudakov's debut goal at Estádio da Luz. The player, who joined the Eagles from Shakhtar Donetsk, had already scored wearing the sacred mantle in an away match against AVS SAD, which ended in a 3-0 victory.
