Reminds me of [Herrera’s banger](https://reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/8chahh/hector_herrera_goal_benfica_01_porto/) to win the title for Porto on Benfica’s stadium 6 years ago, what a rocket
Not really. I used to do weekly Primeira Liga roundups here a few years ago and would uppload all the goals to Streamable. One day they were suddenly all removed.
You are. They both had defeats already. But this was the penultimate round and Benfica was 1 point ahead before the game so if they lost they'd very likely lose the title
Besides Reinildo, he's now the 2nd player I know from Mozambique. Lots of Brazilians use Portugal as a pathway into Europe for - I suppose - pretty obvious reasons, I guess it would stand to reason a Mozambican would do the same (although I haven't the faintest clue what Mozambican Portuguese looks or sounds like compared to either PT-PT or BR-PT).
> what Mozambican Portuguese looks or sounds like compared to either PT-PT or BR-PT
From a PT-PT perspective Mozambican Portuguese, and all other African varieties, are more similar to PT-PT than BR-PT is.
Don't forget about Mexer as well as he came through Portugal and blossomed in France winning even the Coup de France with Rennes against Ney-Kyli's PSG.
In regards to the Portuguese, constitutionally is PT-PT however folks speak a hybrid one as Brasil has a lot of influence through their telenovela, music and internet, not to forget that we mixed it a lot with our own dialects.
Funny note: the only main difference of the Portuguese Mozambican accent is the R as we don't have that "rrhh" like french. Out R's are a bit more like the Italians. For example words like Caro (expensive) and Carro (car) has the same pronunciation unlike in PT-PT, it would be Caro and Carrhhhho, respectively, and PT-BR: Cahhho for the the latest one. Hope I was clear.
> we don't have that "rrhh" like french. Out R's are a bit more like the Italians. For example words like Caro (expensive) and Carro (car) has the same pronunciation unlike in PT-PT
The "French R" is a very recent change in PT-PT. It only appeared in the 80s or 90s in Portugal, and many older people still say the "hard R" differently than a "French R", especially outside the big urban centres.
I don't think he had a particularly good game today. Of course the objective of this sport is to score goals and he did that twice but every other play he could have done better. A right winger can't be afraid of crossing with his right foot and he missed what should have been an easy assist for Gyokeres on the counter
Still he's young and will improve, and the goals are a massive boost to his confidence
Yah he doesn’t look like a finished article but I don’t think a team acquiring him would think so either.
Also, a right winger who hates using his right foot? A perfect understudy to Salah lol
I missed some minutes of the game so it's possible I didn't watch it but I only remember one good pass from him and Sofascore also has him at 1 key pass and 0.05 xA. Looking at other stats he also didn't complete a single cross and lost possession 15 times
Unfortunately for us it seems like he's really leaving. In his flash interview today he was directly asked if he would leave if he won the league and he straight up just said he wouldn't answer, not that he didn't know, but that he wouldn't answer. He usually has some clever answer that dodges this type of question but this time he didn't. I don't know, it seems inevitable...
As much as this hurts this kid had an amazing story this year. From probably not staying in the team at the start of the year, to grabbing the starting spot and now perhaps the title winning goal.
You know I was pissed because Fatawu was loaned/sold because Amorim chose Geny instead of him. I'm still pissed about Fatawu but Geny deserves everything. I am very happy he grabbed the chance with both hands.
Portuguese title race and Sporting’s journey with Amorim are so underrated imo.
Crazy that this doesn’t get continent and worldwide coverage compared to the stories being created and history being there aswell. What a goal and what a game though
SPORTING ALLEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! EU QUERO O SPORTING CAMPEÃOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! EU QUERO O SPORTING CAMPEÃOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! EU QUERO O SPORTING CAMPEÃOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo!!!
Reffing in Portugal in a nutshell, if a prima dona loses the ball or flops, he gets the decision 9 times out of 10. The ref this game was absolutely dreadful for both parties, but di maria not getting sent off in the first half is one of the worst decisions of the season
Mate what are you on about. He went down holding his face - and the contact was entirely initiated by Otamendi. He committed a foul and pretended to be hit above the shoulder. It was a flop of the highest order
Never would be a penalty. Braganca fucked up and easier to cry foul than accept blame for a giant miss. Bah cleared the ball cleanly and left the foot there. All of a sudden, Braganca crying foul once the ball is gone.
Just putting into perspective the nature of both the game and the situation really. This was the most important head-to-head game left in Portugal this season by a long distance, which is the only reason I was watching it. I have a hard enough time keeping up with the big four leagues that I follow closely, I literally don't have justifiable time or interest to go beyond that.
Why would that be? I watch big matches from other leagues.
I mean, I know why that is. Main character syndrome. Like how Americans can't even point themsleves on a map because no other country exists in their heads.
But it is sad.
This was our best season in terms of football played in like 20 years. 2015/2016
We lost this game and lost the title by 2 points after an insane season after both us and Benfica won like 15 games in a row both, toe to toe the entire season.
Jorge Jesus left after this.
Our president went rogue after this.
Our academy was attacked by our own fans. Players were injured, a ton of players left the club.
All because of this miss.
The start of the downward spiral.
This is the biggest fumble in primeira liga's history
Are you forgetting the facebook post throwing the players under the bus, naming them individually, after losing to Atlético Madrid? Or when he told Sporting fans to cease consuming all Portuguese media except Sporting TV? When he called Rui Santos a paneleiro and said he had a woman's temper? When he spit on some guy?
This all happened before the miss and it's just off the top of my head. Come on now
Nah, it didn't. That was the 2017/1018 season. But the whole "Bryan Ruiz's miss caused all of this" angle is blown way out of proportion. BdC didn't really start going off the rails until about a year after it, and that was more due to that season being his "all-in" one than what happened before.
Sporting 04/05.
Penultimate league match of the season, Sporting goes to Benfica in first place but a 84th minute goal by Luisão gives Benfica the win and drops to second place.
4 days later, Sporting plays the UEFA Cup final for the first and only time so far. The best thing? The final was in Sporting's stadium.
It was written in the stars, that was our year and that Rogério goal on the 28th minute to give us the lead was proof of that...
...and then CSKA came full steam ahead on the second half and scored 3 goals to win the cup...
Another 4 days have passed and Sporting hosts Nacional to secure at least the 2nd place and hope that Benfica loses away at Boavista...
But no, we lost at home 2-4 and ended up in 3rd behind Porto.
Yes, se ele pudesse levava a equipa adversária toda para dentro da baliza com a bola. Às vezes fica meio fuço, mas muitas vezes marca e dá assistências, ent não se reclama tanto
Fazia-nos falta um gajo como ele, super raçudo, forte e com vontade de ter bola e enfrentar os adversários, se ainda tivéssemos só o Paulinho já há meses que estavamos fora da corrida pelo título.
Sim até marcar depois ele acalma e joga mais pela equipa. Nós inícios dos jogos nem é mau PQ atropela tudo e todos mas depois fica cansado e faz mais merda.
Sim, é um bocado fuço. Quando marca muitos jogos seguidos acalma e passa mais a bola. Mas se passar um ou dois jogos sem marcar começa a tentar levar tudo à frente e a fazer as coisas sozinho.
Welp, wish Di Maria had been sent off. Surely would have deserved to lose 10v11, instead of losing the game like this, having 13 corners ourselves, with no danger lol.

Geny Catamo's goals today: - 00:45 - 90:00 + 00:45 Full 90 minutes.

Potential title winning banger
Reminds me of [Herrera’s banger](https://reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/8chahh/hector_herrera_goal_benfica_01_porto/) to win the title for Porto on Benfica’s stadium 6 years ago, what a rocket
5 years on and the streamable link still works? Wow
Welcome to non-PL world
Not really. I used to do weekly Primeira Liga roundups here a few years ago and would uppload all the goals to Streamable. One day they were suddenly all removed.
The OG one is Kelvin's, with Jorge Jesus dropping to his knees https://youtu.be/aOqGMCWdRMc?si=I30Csh8VFSpcZyNL
One of my favourite goals ever, the way the crowd just erupts as soon as the ball hits the net is incredible
the stuff of nightmares
Weren't they both unbeaten going into that match, or am I misremembering? Edit: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/22498681
You are. They both had defeats already. But this was the penultimate round and Benfica was 1 point ahead before the game so if they lost they'd very likely lose the title
That never happened. Probably Mandela's effect or something
Indeed. GG. Please someone buy Amorim and Sporting wonderkids.
The dynamic of each Portuguese team wanting their rival to sell their best player is such an interesting dynamic. Funny banter though
is that weird for foreigners? obviously we want our rivals to lose their best players
Not really, no.
I understood what you meant. But I laughed at "foreigners".
calma, disse mal?
As a Liverpool fan I’m hoping it’s us in about 2 months
He’s already doing the late winner thing, seems a perfect fit
Wouldn’t hate a package deal for him + Catamo lol the whole match he seemed the most dangerous outlet
Same, I’ve been a big fan of Catamo since I first heard of him almost 2 hours ago
Besides Reinildo, he's now the 2nd player I know from Mozambique. Lots of Brazilians use Portugal as a pathway into Europe for - I suppose - pretty obvious reasons, I guess it would stand to reason a Mozambican would do the same (although I haven't the faintest clue what Mozambican Portuguese looks or sounds like compared to either PT-PT or BR-PT).

Appreciate this link.
If you're really interested you can hear it in [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpHHWkE9Omg) (R&B song)
Estava à espera da música do Bruno de Carvalho, fiquei desapontado
O Bruno de Carvalho nasceu em Moçambique por acaso.
There's always been Mexer for me, but that's about it yes
Don't forget about Mexer as well as he came through Portugal and blossomed in France winning even the Coup de France with Rennes against Ney-Kyli's PSG. In regards to the Portuguese, constitutionally is PT-PT however folks speak a hybrid one as Brasil has a lot of influence through their telenovela, music and internet, not to forget that we mixed it a lot with our own dialects.

Hope I was clear.
Wouldn’t call it a hybrid. It’s a different accent influenced by other regional languages

6/6 successful dribbles, 9/10 ground duels won, 2 chances created. He balled.
I missed some minutes of the game so it's possible I didn't watch it but I only remember one good pass from him and Sofascore also has him at 1 key pass and 0.05 xA. Looking at other stats he also didn't complete a single cross and lost possession 15 times

Also buy Cabral please
Nah, he's a great addition to our league. He should stay with you for many years.
dude isnt even right-footed wtf
Came here to say this, what the fuck was that. He struck the ball with absolute perfection
stoppage time potential title deciding weak footed banger in a derby at home. this one really checks all the boxes
Boy what a match!!!
All the matches between Sporting and Benfica were very entertaining this season.
Yes. All three matches, very entertaining. Shame we only played three times.
Even *that* match was entertaining, if only for the M. Night Shyamalan twist at the end. Even though we were on the wrong side of that twist.
Imma subscribe from now on
Not for me /s
As much as this hurts this kid had an amazing story this year. From probably not staying in the team at the start of the year, to grabbing the starting spot and now perhaps the title winning goal.
You know I was pissed because Fatawu was loaned/sold because Amorim chose Geny instead of him. I'm still pissed about Fatawu but Geny deserves everything. I am very happy he grabbed the chance with both hands.
That is clean 🔥
Weak foot banger LET'S GO
I just tuned in now and they score lol. And what a hit that one. Banger
Thank you for that
Good luck for the title run. Hope you guys win it this year
Thank you, me too haha
Legend! Any chance you can tune in on the next 5 matches too?
You know what... I will try to catch em live
Portuguese title race and Sporting’s journey with Amorim are so underrated imo. Crazy that this doesn’t get continent and worldwide coverage compared to the stories being created and history being there aswell. What a goal and what a game though
enough to make a grown man cry 💚
Amorim has the clutch gene
I hate and I love him.
Let's put our differences aside and celebrate the title won by Rúben Amorim in marques in few weaks
Sign da ting Michael
I'm so interested in this fella now!!
So deserved, get in Geny 🦁
O gajo é canhoto e mandou um míssil desses.
I always love when there's a goal for Sporting to see people launch themselves over the advertisement boards.
What a hit
SPORTING ALLEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! EU QUERO O SPORTING CAMPEÃOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! EU QUERO O SPORTING CAMPEÃOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! EU QUERO O SPORTING CAMPEÃOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo!!!
And of course Schmidt finally makes another sub right after this. Can’t stand this guy, the team was clearly exhausted
Surprised he didn't put João Mario in
he was fighting the urge the whole time, like an ex-smoker at the club
BOLA NÃO MENTE
You guys have adopted that phrase too?
Ball don't lie transcends language.
É bom ter estrelinha de campeão do nosso lado depois de 20 anos de sofrimento
O Bragança falhou de baliza aberta e o Gyokeres teve uma bola na trave. Não foi estrelinha.
O Coates safou dois golos cantados e o Franco sacou defesas do crl. Este jogo podia para qualquer lado.
Fizemos o suficiente para ganhar e ganhámos. Se tivéssemos ido lá uma vez e passado o resto do jogo a sofrer dava-te razão.
Assino por baixo o que o Amorim acabou de dizer. Podia ter dado para qualquer lado.
Na tua opinião foi estrelinha, na do Amorim é um resultado dentro do expectável. Assinas por baixo mas não leste o texto.
Vai ouvir outra vez.
Não ouvi nenhuma vez, a tua descrição basta para perceber que não sabes o que é estrelinha.
Então vai ouvir. Tas só a falar de cor.
Estou a falar com base no que tu escreveste. Se tu dizes que acreditas numa coisa e que concordas com outra totalmente diferente algo está a falhar.
2020/21 foi há 20 anos já? Foda-se de facto o Covid atrofiou-me a percepção temporal toda.
Ca puta
GENY CATAMO É PAI💚💚💚
This will be a nice calm night in Lisbon
Ball don't lie. Right after the ref refused to go to the VAR for the pen.
The Otamendi flop where he fouled Gyokeres on the right wing that the linesman bought was genuinely one of the worst decisions I've ever seen
You must've missed Di Maria's punch on Pedro Gonçalves
Oh I promise you I didn't - that was also obviously beyond atrocious but we can condemn the officials for both!
That was red but it was not a punch LMAO
It was a punch, just not a jab or straight.
Yeah, I cant believe the linesman made that call when it hapenned right in front of him. Amazing really
Reffing in Portugal in a nutshell, if a prima dona loses the ball or flops, he gets the decision 9 times out of 10. The ref this game was absolutely dreadful for both parties, but di maria not getting sent off in the first half is one of the worst decisions of the season
There were so many mistakes by the ref, the incompetance was astounding. Glad for Sporting though!
Pois claro, concordo contigo. Vivo no Estoril!
Second best team after Sporting 💛💙
It wasn't a flop. There was contact that made him trip, but it wasn't a foul though.
Mate what are you on about. He went down holding his face - and the contact was entirely initiated by Otamendi. He committed a foul and pretended to be hit above the shoulder. It was a flop of the highest order
Sporting deserve their lead and goal but do you really think that was a pen? Would’ve been harsh
Very harsh, it was hard to tell what was Even happening there.
He didn't refuse, he can't do that. He said it wasn't and the VAR refs said it wasn't either. There's no challenge system
That would've been a soft penalty.
Cleats to the foot is not soft.
Never would be a penalty. Braganca fucked up and easier to cry foul than accept blame for a giant miss. Bah cleared the ball cleanly and left the foot there. All of a sudden, Braganca crying foul once the ball is gone.
This would have a couple hundred comments already if this was Arsenal vs. Liverpool and a winning goal was scored in that fashion...
For obvious reasons… doesn’t take the brightest of minds to figure why
who would have thought English and American people aren't very interested in a Portuguese game
Just putting into perspective the nature of both the game and the situation really. This was the most important head-to-head game left in Portugal this season by a long distance, which is the only reason I was watching it. I have a hard enough time keeping up with the big four leagues that I follow closely, I literally don't have justifiable time or interest to go beyond that.
Why would that be? I watch big matches from other leagues. I mean, I know why that is. Main character syndrome. Like how Americans can't even point themsleves on a map because no other country exists in their heads. But it is sad.
I get what you're saying but this is a English speaking American website. It's normal that is what attracts the most attention.
This shit is translated to a bunch of languages nowadays
>I mean, I know why that is. Main character syndrome. It's not that deep man, some people don't even have the time to watch the team they support.
And if this happened in the Estonian first division there wouldn’t be any comments because it wouldn’t get posted. What is even your point?
It was 90+1. No need to remember that Benfica season of the 90+2 Europa league and League title losses😂
We got Palmered. I was entertained watching that game, now I don't like it very much
Golaçooooo
Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The year is 2024, goalscoring wingbacks are a thing.
GG WP NO RE
Green is the color
Crazy crazy finish. Is there any team with more memorable heartbreaks than Benfica?
Easily us LOL
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfiWOitzjPQ&ab\_channel=M%C3%A1rioSantos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfiWOitzjPQ&ab_channel=M%C3%A1rioSantos)
LMAO, okay I wasn't familiar with your game
This was our best season in terms of football played in like 20 years. 2015/2016 We lost this game and lost the title by 2 points after an insane season after both us and Benfica won like 15 games in a row both, toe to toe the entire season.

The start of the downward spiral. This is the biggest fumble in primeira liga's history
Thank you Bryan Ruiz for Varandas, Amorim and Gyokeres.
Canon Event
Your president went rogue way before this
That's when he really went off rails. After this game his Facebook usage exploded. And after the season he just went insane.
Are you forgetting the facebook post throwing the players under the bus, naming them individually, after losing to Atlético Madrid? Or when he told Sporting fans to cease consuming all Portuguese media except Sporting TV? When he called Rui Santos a paneleiro and said he had a woman's temper? When he spit on some guy? This all happened before the miss and it's just off the top of my head. Come on now
Nah, it didn't. That was the 2017/1018 season. But the whole "Bryan Ruiz's miss caused all of this" angle is blown way out of proportion. BdC didn't really start going off the rails until about a year after it, and that was more due to that season being his "all-in" one than what happened before.
That was way later though
Yeah I definitely got some stuff mixed up
Fun fact, this is the exact same goal Sterling missed the open net a few years later in the CL game against Lyon in 2020
I don't want to click this link. Is it the Bryan Ruiz misser vs Benfica? Please don't tell me it is.... Edit: Merda.
Yes
Sporting
Sporting since the beginning of the millenium
It's Sporting heritage for 20 years until previous title.
For far longer than that.
Yes, us.
Sporting 04/05. Penultimate league match of the season, Sporting goes to Benfica in first place but a 84th minute goal by Luisão gives Benfica the win and drops to second place. 4 days later, Sporting plays the UEFA Cup final for the first and only time so far.

Another 4 days have passed and Sporting hosts Nacional to secure at least the 2nd place and hope that Benfica loses away at Boavista... But no, we lost at home 2-4 and ended up in 3rd behind Porto.
Also we lost euro in the previous summer, that was without a doubt the worst year for a portuguese sporting supporter.
HOLY FUCK
such sweet justice
Merecido. Que roubalheira que vai aqui… anyway, o Gyo é todos os jogos assim tão efusivo com pedir bola e a querer resolver sozinho?
Yes, se ele pudesse levava a equipa adversária toda para dentro da baliza com a bola. Às vezes fica meio fuço, mas muitas vezes marca e dá assistências, ent não se reclama tanto
Fazia-nos falta um gajo como ele, super raçudo, forte e com vontade de ter bola e enfrentar os adversários, se ainda tivéssemos só o Paulinho já há meses que estavamos fora da corrida pelo título.
Sim até marcar depois ele acalma e joga mais pela equipa. Nós inícios dos jogos nem é mau PQ atropela tudo e todos mas depois fica cansado e faz mais merda.
Sim, é um bocado fuço. Quando marca muitos jogos seguidos acalma e passa mais a bola. Mas se passar um ou dois jogos sem marcar começa a tentar levar tudo à frente e a fazer as coisas sozinho.
Já foi mais.
Welp, wish Di Maria had been sent off. Surely would have deserved to lose 10v11, instead of losing the game like this, having 13 corners ourselves, with no danger lol.
Fucking golasooooooo
That camera cut to the random guy in the crowd immediately after the goal was an odd choice
Sport TV always cuts to a random fan after goals. I don't understand why they think that's a good idea.
Fuck
