Geny starts in Mozambique win, but Sporting man has worrying record | OneFootball

Mozambique's national team won against Botswana, 2-0, this Sunday, September 8. Geny Catamo was once again an initial choice for Chiquinho Conde, despite being substituted at the 69th minute. Nevertheless, the Sporting player has played his seventh match this season between national teams and Alvalade Club, but without any goal involvement yet.

This was a match that marked the return of the national team to the Zimpeto National Stadium, in the capital Maputo, after CAF authorized daytime sporting events with a limit of 15,000 spectators. After the defeat in the last match, Mozambique returns to winning ways.

The "mambas" started strong and opened the scoring just six minutes in. In the second half, it was Faizal Bengal's turn to confirm the victory at 71m. With this result, Mozambique moves up to second place in Group G, with 15 points, behind Algeria, with 18 (one game less).

Despite a less exuberant start to the season, Sporting wants to proceed with a wage review for the player, which will see the right winger's salary significantly increase, after he stayed at Alvalade following the closure of the transfer market.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has already played five matches, always as a starter. In the 341 minutes he spent on the field, the left-footer has yet to score any goal or assist.
