Shone at Sporting: Kairat knock out António Silva and former Benfica star | OneFootball

Last night, Sporting hosted Kairat in the Champions League, where they won 4-1. One of the goals scored by the lions was marked by Geovany Quenda, who wrote his name in the history of the millionaire competition, leaving behind two well-known names from Benfica and the red formation.

In the 68th minute, the under-21 international scored the fourth goal of the match, signing his first goal in the Champions League. By doing so, Sporting's number 7 became the second youngest player to score, surpassing names like António Silva and Gonçalo Guedes, athletes trained in Seixal.

At 18 years, four months, and 20 days, the young lion propelled himself to the second position in the ranking, only behind another player who also shone with Benfica's Sacred Mantle. This is António Simões, a Benfica legend who, in the 1961/62 season, scored his first goal in the now-defunct European Champion Clubs' Cup at just 18 years, three months, and eight days.

Behind António Simões and Geovany Quenda, the ranking is completed with the presence of António Silva and Gonçalo Guedes. The now Real Sociedad forward appears in third place, when in the 2015/16 season, he debuted scoring at 18 years, 10 months, and two days.

As for the number 4 of the reds, who was present at José Mourinho's first training session, he scored his debut goal in the Champions League in his debut season with the main squad, under Roger Schmidt. At the time, the young central defender was 18 years, 11 months, and 26 days old.
