Sporting Lisbon's Stunning Victory: Gyökeres' Four-Goal Masterclass
Wow. Just wow. Sporting Lisbon absolutely crushed Boavista 5-0 on April 27th, 2025, and honestly, who saw that coming? Viktor Gyökeres was the undisputed star, bagging four goals in a performance that was nothing short of electrifying. It was a total masterclass.

US viewers have even more options: Fanatiz USA, fubo TV, Benfica TV INT, GOLTV, and GolTV Espanol.
Gyökeres Runs Riot
The game at the Estádio do Bessa was all Sporting from the kickoff. Gyökeres opened the scoring early, tapping in a perfect cross from Maxi Araújo. It was a beautiful goal, and it set the tone for the rest of the match. Then, just before halftime, he unleashed a rocket of a shot – unstoppable! He completed his hat-trick early in the second half, and then, just to rub salt into the wound, added a fourth in stoppage time. Fifty-two goals this season across all competitions? The guy's on fire!
Sporting's Unbeatable Streak
This win really showcased Sporting's incredible resurgence under manager Rui Borges. They've been on an unbelievable unbeaten run of 17 games! Remember when they were struggling with injuries and inconsistent results? Yeah, those days seem like a distant memory now. This victory puts them right back on top of the Primeira Liga, level on points with Benfica. The title race is going to be insane!
Boavista's Relegation Battle
It wasn't a great day for Boavista, obviously. They really fought hard, especially considering their captain, Sebastián Pérez, was suspended. Poor Stuart Baxter, their new manager, must be feeling the pressure. He’s got a huge task ahead trying to save them from relegation. They're currently bottom of the table, five points from safety with only four games left. Their recent 1-0 win over Farense gave them a tiny bit of hope, but it's a long shot now.
The Title Showdown: It All Comes Down to This
With just three matches to go, Sporting and Benfica are neck and neck. And the big one? The Lisbon derby on May 10th, 2025. This game will decide the champion. Sporting's win over Boavista gives them some serious momentum heading into that clash. It’s going to be electric.
