Benfica's Greek striker Vangelis Pavlidis was named the best striker of the month of August in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The player arrived at Benfica during the last transfer window and quickly stood out in the Eagles' attack.
Pavlidis scored five goals in just three games during the month of August, demonstrating an impressive finishing ability. His prolificacy allowed him to contribute significantly to Benfica's good start to the season in the national championship.
In the election for this monthly distinction, the Greek striker managed to beat two heavyweight contenders: Gonçalo Paciência, a player from FC Porto, and Luis Suárez, a former world-renowned striker. The voting is carried out among sports journalists who cover the Primeira Liga.
This distinction represents a promising start for Pavlidis at his new team, having established himself as one of Benfica's main attacking references for the season. The Lisbon club hopes the striker maintains this goal-scoring rhythm throughout the competition.
