Sporting’s last-gasp goals under the spotlight in Europe | OneFootball

Sporting Sporting continues to show an extraordinary knack for scoring 'after hours', and last Monday, they did it again when Luis Suárez – who recently received an award – scored in the 90’+9, securing a 1-1 draw during their visit to Estádio do Dragão.

This was already the sixth consecutive match in all competitions in which the Lions have scored beyond regular time, after having done so against Paris Saint-Germain (by Luis Suárez, at 90+1’), Arouca (by Luis Suárez, at 90+6’), Athletic Bilbao (by Alisson Santos, at 90+4’), Nacional (by Luis Suárez, at 90+6’), and AVS (by Geny Catamo, already in extra time), all of which resulted in victories.

Doing the math, in the league alone, eight of the 55 goals scored by Rui Borges’ men Rui Borges, so far, since the start of the current 2025/26 season, have come after the 90th minute. An unparalleled feat, to the point that the closest club is Alverca, with four – that is, half as many.

However, there’s more, because not even among the top six European leagues can a parallel be found. In the Bundesliga, Cologne has scored seven, as has Lille in Ligue 1. In the Premier League, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Brentford have scored six, while Lazio leads the count in Serie A with five.

Curiously, it is in Spain where this type of goal occurs most regularly, to the extent that ‘first place’ is shared by Barcelona, Real Madrid, Celta de Vigo, Osasuna, and Levante, all with five accurate shots turned into goals already in stoppage time.
