There were some big goals scored by Portuguese in Europe’s major leagues this weekend, with Seleção superstar Nuno Mendes leading the way with a dramatic winner for 10-man Paris Saint-Germain at Strasbourg in France.

Mendes the matchwinner

Ligue 1 title holders PSG came from behind to win 2-1 at the Stade de la Meinau on Sunday, but their accomplishment was made even more impressive given star right-back Achraf Hakimi was sent off with the score at 1-1 with fifteen minutes remaining. However, Mendes once again showed his prowess in big moments by arriving at the back post to nod in Warren Zaire-Emery’s cross in the 80th minute.

Guedes hits screamer in Basque derby

The goal of the weekend belonged to Goncalo Guedes, who scored a superb long-range effort for Real Sociedad in the Basque derby at Athletic Bilbao. Guedes’ goal – his fourth in his last nine matches – gave visitors Sociedad the lead in the first half at the Estadio San Mamés, but Athletic salvaged a draw thanks to an 88th-minute leveller by Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta.

Vieira penalty helps Hamburg hold Bayern

In Germany, Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich dropped points for the second week running, following a 2-2 draw at Hamburg. Portuguese midfielder Fábio Vieira – on loan from Arsenal – opened the scoring from the penalty spot for Hamburg, who ultimately settled for a point against a Bayern side without Raphaël Guerreiro as he recovers from a minor calf strain.

Vitinha goal in vain

Another ex-Braga man Vitinha was denied a crucial goal in Serie A on Friday evening. Lazio beat Genoa 3-2 in Rome with a desperately late penalty in the 100th minute. The blow to Genoa was particularly felt by Vitinha, who had completed his side’s comeback from 2-0 down by grabbing an equaliser to make it 2-2 on 75 minutes.

On Monday night, Mallorca produced an impressive showing to hammer Sevilla 4-1 in La Liga. Portuguese midfielder Samú Costa scored arguably the game’s vital goal, putting the hosts 2-1 up early in the second half for his 4th league goal of the season. The strike came amid reports of Real Madrid paying increasingly close attention to the 25-year-old former Braga man, who is expected to make a summer transfer.
