SportsPortuguese winger Afonso Moreira continued his impressive pre-season form for Bayer Leverkusen by scoring the fourth goal in a 4-0 friendly victory over Belgian side Genk. The 29.5 million euro signing from Lyon has now scored in three consecutive matches, justifying the club's investment. The former Sporting Lisbon player is described as 'on fire' by Portuguese sports newspaper Record, though the article notes it is still pre-season and not yet a serious competition.
