Club career
Born in Porto, Paciência joined FC Porto's youth system at the age of only 8. He made his senior debut on 12 January 2014, starting for the B-team in a 2–0 home win against Portimonense SC for the second division championship. He scored his first goals in the competition on 22 March, helping to a 2–2 away draw against C.D. Feirense.
Paciência first appeared in competitive games with the main squad on 21 January 2015, again acting as starter in a 1–1 draw at S.C. Braga for the Portuguese League Cup. He netted his first goal in the same competition, in a 4–1 home success over Académica de Coimbra that took place the following week.
On 29 July 2015, Paciência joined Académica in a season-long loan. On 31 August 2016, still owned by Porto, he moved to Olympiakos FC. His spell at the latter club, which was undermined by heart problems, was concluded in December.
International career
Paciência earned 51 caps for Portugal at youth level. His first for the under-21 team arrived on 5 March 2014 at the age of 19, when he started and missed a second-half penalty in a 2–0 home win against Macedonia for the 2015 UEFA European Championship qualifiers. Selected for the finals in the Czech Republic, he collected three substitute appearances for the runners-up, scoring in the 1–1 group stage draw to Sweden and converting his shootout attempt in the final against the same opponent.
Paciência was part of the squad at the 2016 Summer Olympics, netting three times in the group phase in an eventual quarter-final exit.
Personal life
Paciência's father, Domingos, was also a footballer and a striker. He too was groomed at Porto.
