Club career

Portugal

Born in Paredes, Sérgio was a youth graduate of F.C. Paços de Ferreira, making his Primeira Liga debut on 1 October 2000 by playing four minutes in a 4–1 home win against C.F. Estrela da Amadora.[1] He was first-choice in the following two seasons.[2]

On 25 June 2003, Sérgio joined Sporting Clube de Portugal on a four-year contract, being the first signing of manager Fernando Santos. He said upon his arrival: "I am an ambitious player. I have fought for this opportunity and now want to show my worth".[3] However, three years later and with only 18 competitive appearances to his credit, also being loaned to fellow league side Vitória de Guimarães,[4] he was released.[5]

Immediately after leaving the Lions, Mário Sérgio signed for two years with Associação Naval 1º de Maio also in the top level.[6] He was an undisputed starter during his tenure, scoring his third and last league goal on 14 January 2007 to contribute to a 3–0 away victory over Vitória de Setúbal.[7]

Metalurh Donetsk

On 27 July 2008, Sérgio moved to FC Metalurh Donetsk for an undisclosed fee.[8] He made his Ukrainian Premier League on 19 August, in a 1–0 home win against FC Karpaty Lviv.[9]

On 25 September 2009, Mário Sérgio renewed his link for two more years, keeping him at the club until 2012.[10] In March 2012, he became the first player to appear in 100 league games for Metalurh, achieving this feat against SC Tavriya Simferopol; he was released midway through that month alongside two other players, however,[11] having scored twice in the competition, both goals coming against Karpaty in September 2011.[12]

APOEL

On 15 May 2012 Mário Sérgio signed a two-year deal with Cypriot club APOEL FC,[13] scoring his first goal against Alki Larnaca F.C. in a last-minute equalizer.[14] He also participated with the team in the qualifying phase of the UEFA Europa League, netting against Aalesunds FK in a 2–1 home success;[15] at the end of his debut campaign he won the First Division, which was the first major accolade of his career.

On 17 August 2013, APOEL beat Apollon Limassol 1–0 to win the Cypriot Super Cup and Mário Sérgio scored a rare goal in the 35th minute.[16] During the season, he appeared in five games in the group stage of the Europa League, and helped his side conquer the treble as they went on to add the league[17] and the Cup.[18]

On 6 December 2014, Mário Sérgio signed a two-year contract extension with APOEL, running until June 2017.[19]

International career

Mário Sérgio played for the Portuguese under-21s during two years,[20] representing the nation at the 2004 UEFA European Championship, and was also in squad for the 2004 Summer Olympics football tournament.[21] He gained his first cap for the former on 15 October 2002, in a 2–4 loss in Turkey for the 2004 European Championship qualifiers.[22]
