Rui Borges could be set to surpass Amorim and break record at Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting continue to demonstrate impressive attacking power under the management of Rui Borges and, after the 3-0 victory over Gil Vicente, the Lions reached a historic milestone that directly recalls the Ruben Amorim era at Alvalade.

With the win against the Barcelos side, managed by César Peixoto, the green-and-whites made it 53 consecutive matches scoring, thus matching one of the best attacking records in the Club’s recent history. Curiously, the last time Sporting finished a match without scoring was also against Gil Vicente, in a draw on 22 December 2024, a result that would ultimately lead to João Pereira’s departure - who renewed his contract in Turkey - from the technical command.

Since Rui Borges arrived on the Lions’ bench, Sporting have scored in every match played, reinforcing the team’s attacking consistency and the coach’s immediate influence. The run of 53 matches had previously been achieved during Ruben Amorim’s spell at Alvalade, in a sequence that took place between the 2022/23 and 2024/25 seasons.

Even so, Rui Borges can continue making history at Sporting. The Club’s all-time record is a run of 57 consecutive matches scoring, a number the Lions now have within reach if they maintain their goalscoring form in the coming games.

. The match, counting for the Portuguese Cup final, against the side managed by Luís Tralhão, will be played at the Estádio Nacional do Jamor, in Oeiras, at 5:15 pm.
