Sporting star in top form, matches last season’s tally

Pedro Gonçalves has been one of Sporting’s standout performers at the start of the season. The Portuguese international has already equaled the number of goals he scored in 2024/25, after netting another one last Saturday, when the Lions beat Paços de Ferreira 3-2.

In 2024/25, Pedro Gonçalves started the season at a high level, but was sidelined for much of the campaign due to injury. This year, the six goals he has already scored have first served to match that tally which he also reached last season.

But the goal he scored against Paços de Ferreira had another effect: it made Pedro Gonçalves the player with the most goal contributions at Sporting this season. Pote took his total to nine, with his six goals, to which he adds three assists.

Pedro Gonçalves surpassed Luis Suárez — who has eight goal contributions this season. Pote has also already played 12 matches and is not far from matching the total of 20 games he featured in last season, when he was injured for a long time.

Regarding the match, the Lions had to work hard to defeat Paços de Ferreira and advance in the Portuguese Cup. To find a scare of this magnitude — extra time against a lower-division team — you have to go back to January 16, 2001, in a Portuguese Cup round-of-16 match against José Peseiro’s Nacional. The game ended 3-3 and, since there were no penalty shootouts at the time, a second match was played in Madeira, which the Lions won 2-0.
