Quenda goes wild after scoring for Sporting | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda once again found the back of the net in the latest 4-1 victory of Sporting against Kairat Almaty, last Thursday night, September 18, in a match for the first round of the Champions League. The accurate shot unleashed an emotional outburst from the 18-year-old.

After a season start where he was relegated to the bench by coach Rui Borges' decision, the 'number 7' of the Alvalade Club returned to the starting lineup and gave the best response with a goal in the millionaire competition. In his celebrations, the young man could not contain his emotion and ended up taking off his shirt in celebration.

Another reason that may have contributed to his effusive celebration was the fact that Geovany Quenda made his scoring debut in the Champions League, also becoming the youngest player ever to score in the Champions League, at just 18 years, four months, and 20 days old.

This season, with Sporting's shirt, Geovany Quenda - valued at 45 million euros - has participated in seven matches, five as a used substitute and two as a starter. In the 315 minutes played, the new 'number 7' of the Alvalade Club already has one goal and four assists.

With this victory - the fifth in seven matches this season - Rui Borges' team thus adds the first three points in the competition. The next match in the international competition is scheduled for Wednesday, October 1, at 8:00 p.m., away from home, against the Italians from Naples.
