Peruvian Teen Bassco Soyer Earns First Gil Vicente Call-Up for Primeira Liga Match vs. Santa Clara

A vacancy from Luis Esteves’ suspension opened the door.

Overview

  • Soyer, 19, has been named to Gil Vicente’s first-team squad for the Nov. 3 league fixture, his first appearance on a senior matchday list.
  • His selection follows five standout outings with the club’s Sub-23 side in the Liga Revelação, with coach César Peixoto tracking his progress.
  • The opportunity comes after Esteves was sent off in the prior match, creating short-term room in the attacking group.
  • Gil Vicente sit fourth in Portugal on 19 points as one of the season’s surprise performers, and the Santa Clara match is scheduled on GOLTV and SporTV.
  • Whether Soyer debuts will be a game-time decision, and any future Peru call-up remains contingent on earning minutes and performing well.
