Benfica fans thrilled by Seixal gems: showed real grit and determination | OneFootball

Benfica won 4-0 against Estrela da Amadora in the match for the 19th round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The duel, played at Estádio da Luz, was marked by the debuts of Daniel Banjaqui and Anísio Cabral with the main team’s jersey, who provided an assist and scored a goal, respectively. These debuts did not go unnoticed by Yolanda Coluna’s praise.

"Benfica played very well. The result was great, although they deserved one more goal. The academy boys showed grit and attitude, we have players. It was a good game, Benfica style", said the daughter of Mário Coluna, Benfica legend, in an interview with the newspaper Record.

Former PSD deputy Duarte Marques, in addition to highlighting Anísio’s dream debut, also praised other moments of the match. "Great game from Benfica, where the highlight ends up being Fehér and the return of Rafa. Good signs from Sidny Cabral and a clear signal from Anísio making his presence felt, but the future is right there".

"We dominated in the first half, with some good moments, but lacked finishing. We played with more heart than head. The goal at the start of the second half ended up calming the team and we managed to get the win, which was important after the recent results, the dissatisfaction of the members in recent days, and also because it’s ahead of a big game, which is very important for Benfica’s history", commented João Manuel Pinto, former player of the Eagles.

The red emblem returns to the field next Wednesday, January 28, against Real Madrid. The match, counting for the eighth and final round of the Champions League group stage, against the team led by Álvaro Arbeloa, will be played at 8:00 p.m. at Luz.
