Leandro Andrade becomes the first Cape Verdean footballer to score in the Champions League

Qarabag's footballer Leandro Andrade has entered the history of Cape Verde.

Idman.biz reports with reference to Prosport.Az that the 26-year-old midfielder achieved this in the first round match of the Champions League League stage in Portugal, where they defeated Benfica 3:2.

Andrade, who scored in the 30th minute, became the first Cape Verdean footballer to score in the Champions League.

In this season's match against Benfica, in addition to Leandro Andrade, Colombian Kamilo Duran and Ukrainian Oleksiy Kashchuk scored.
