David Silva Scores Penalty in Professional Return for Supreme Sha Tin

David Silva marked his return to professional football with a 56th-minute penalty goal for Hong Kong side Supreme Sha Tin on Saturday.

David Silva scored a 56th-minute penalty and earned player of the match honors in his debut for Supreme Sha Tin on Saturday, as reported by ESPN. The contest against Hong Kong Rangers ended in a 1-1 draw after Rangers secured an equalizer following Silva's composed finish into the bottom left corner. The former Spain international featured for 84 minutes in his first competitive appearance since retiring at Real Sociedad three years ago.

This performance follows Silva's announcement last month that he would join the Hong Kong club after a career that included 309 appearances for Manchester City and 125 caps for his national team. The result leaves Supreme Sha Tin in ninth place out of 12 teams in the Hong Kong top-flight. Silva, a four-time Premier League champion, previously ended his initial professional tenure in 2023 before opting to return to the pitch this season.
