Nets on Wednesday
Zalazar scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Galatasaray.
Analysis: Zalazar netted in the 63rd minute with a beautiful freekick. He recorded 15 passes, created two chances and completed a dribble. This was his first ever Champions League goal.
Signs with Sporting CP
Zalazar signed a contract with Sporting CP through 2031, after departing Braga, the club announced.
Analysis: Zalazar scored 23 goals and added eight assists in 47 appearances for Braga last season, a breakout campaign that also saw him represent Uruguay at this summer's World Cup. The midfielder began his career in Spain before moving to Eintracht Frankfurt, with loan spells in Poland and Germany at St. Pauli and Schalke ultimately leading to a permanent move to Schalke, where he helped the club earn promotion before playing in the Bundesliga in 2022-23. He went on to spend three seasons at Braga before this move. Zalazar is expected to add creativity and goal scoring threat to Sporting's midfield as he links up with fellow Uruguayan international Maxi Araujo.
