Geovany Quenda goal makes history, Sporting’s wonderkid shines | OneFootball

It was a dream night for Geovany Quenda. In his second game as a starter for Sporting in the 2025/26 season, the 'number 7' of the lions scored in the 4-1 victory against Kairat, becoming the youngest Portuguese ever to score in the Champions League.

The forward from the Alvalade Club sealed the score for the lions in the 68th minute with a high-level play, reaching this milestone at 18 years, four months, and 20 days. In doing so, Quenda surpassed Gonçalo Guedes, who held this position since the 2015/16 season when he scored for Benfica in the Champions League at 19 years, 10 months, and two days.

The Sporting player ended up 'demanding' more game time from Rui Borges and expressed satisfaction with the goal scored:

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Geovany Quenda - valued at 45 million euros - has participated in seven matches, five as a substitute and two as a starter. In the 315 minutes accumulated, the new 'number 7' of the Alvalade Club already has one goal and four assists.

With this victory – the fifth in seven matches this season – Rui Borges' team thus secures the first three points in the competition. The next game in the international competition is scheduled for Wednesday, October 1st, at 8:00 PM, away against the Italians of Napoli.
