Rui Borges chases first win in charge of Sporting | OneFootball

Rui Borges may have his first victory in the Champions League. Sporting will make its debut in the competition against Kairat Almaty next Thursday, September 18, and could secure a substantial amount of money if they manage to beat the visiting team at Alvalade Stadium.

Since the native of Mirandela took over the technical command of the lions in December 2024, the coach recorded his first four games in UEFA's millionaire competition, where he has not yet managed to get the better of his opponent. There have been two draws against Bologna and Borussia Dortmund and two losses also against the yellows of Westphalia and Leipzig.

It's worth remembering that a victory in the regular phase of the Champions League can bring in a substantial amount of money that will be important in Sporting's SAD accounts. In addition to the three points, the Alvalade Club receives 2.1 million euros for each positive result. Draws are worth only 700,000 euros.

Sporting will return to the field on Thursday, September 18, against Kairat Almaty. The match against the team led by Rafael Urazbakhtin, valid for the first round of the Champions League, will be played at José Alvalade Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 20:00.
