Benfica’s under-23 team continues to recover in the Liga Revelação. On the morning of this Tuesday, April 7, the Eagles travelled to Santa Clara’s ground for the 11th round of the championship qualification phase, where Benfica won 3-2.

These were Vítor Vinha’s initial picks in a match in which the Eagles were looking to keep their under-23 season going.

Playing in the Azores, Benfica started the match stronger and wasted no time in finding the back of the island side’s net. To the Eagles’ delight, Benfica opened the scoring in the 8th minute, going ahead. However, the Reds’ lead would not last long.

Minutes later, the referee awarded a foul inside Benfica’s penalty area, giving the Azorean side a penalty, and the home team managed to level the score before half-time (1-1). In the second half, the island side came out more determined to turn the match around and made it 2-1 in the 64th minute. In the closing stages, the club from Luz managed to make it 2-2. In stoppage time, Benfica made it 3-2.

As such, the club from Luz returned to winning ways in the Liga Revelação, after suffering another setback in the previous round against Académico de Viseu. All things considered, Benfica continues to improve in the competition, sitting fifth in the standings with just 15 points.
