Victory in Moreira de Cónegos sparks transformation in Sporting player | OneFootball

The victory of Sporting against Moreirense (3-0), in Moreira de Cónegos, was marked by yet another moment of affirmation for Geny Catamo – who is part of the green and white 'killer' trio. The Mozambican winger once again left his mark with a shot from outside the box, in a play that reflects the transformation he has been undergoing throughout the season.

In 2025/2026, Geny presents numbers that confirm this growth. He already has 11 direct goal involvements in 29 games, a record that results from greater presence in decisive areas and a more objective approach in the final third. The strategy is to take more risks with shots and assume offensive responsibilities, something that has been consistently worked on.

The change is linked to the framework provided by Rui Borges. It is clear that, at the moment, the Mozambican winger is better exploiting finishing situations, especially from outside the box, giving him the freedom to make decisions. This confidence has been reflected in a more assertive version, capable of creating imbalances both from the wing and with inside movements.

Alongside his offensive impact, Geny maintains his influence on the collective level. His defensive commitment, constant pressing, and positional discipline continue to be present in his game, factors that reinforce his importance in the team’s balance and explain his regular presence in the starting eleven.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo – valued at 15 million euros – has played 29 matches: 18 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the UEFA Champions League, three in the Taça de Portugal, and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,726 minutes he has been on the pitch, he has scored seven goals and assisted his teammates on four occasions.
