Rui Borges may be about to overtake Amorim and break record at Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting continue to demonstrate impressive attacking power under Rui Borges and, after the 3-0 win over Gil Vicente, the Lions reached a historic milestone that directly recalls the Ruben Amorim era at Alvalade.

With the victory over the Barcelos side, coached by César Peixoto, the green and whites made it 53 consecutive matches with a goal, thus matching one of the best attacking records in the Club’s recent history. Interestingly, the last time Sporting finished a match without scoring also came against Gil Vicente, in a draw on 22 December 2024, a result that would ultimately lead to João Pereira’s departure from the technical command — who renewed his contract in Turkey.

Since Rui Borges arrived on the Lions’ bench, Sporting have scored in every match played, reinforcing the team’s attacking consistency and the coach’s immediate impact. The 53-match record had previously been achieved during Ruben Amorim’s spell at Alvalade, in a run that lasted from the 2022/23 to the 2024/25 seasons.

Even so, Rui Borges can continue making history at Sporting. The Club’s all-time record is a run of 57 consecutive matches with a goal, a number now within the Lions’ reach if they maintain their scoring form in the coming games.

. The match, counting toward the Portuguese Cup final, against the side coached by Luís Tralhão, will be played at the Estádio Nacional do Jamor, in Oeiras, at 5:15 pm.
