Benfica show no mercy, make it a clean sweep in the Champions League | OneFootball

Benfica's futsal team was in action this Saturday, November 1st, for the third and final matchday of the UEFA Futsal Champions League group stage. With two victories already in the bag, the red team faced Luxol St. Andrews, with the final score ending 6-1 in favor of the Clube da Luz.

The Eagles arrived at match 3 buoyed by their previous results: 9-0 against Loznica and 5-1 against Riga FC. In the third and final duel of this stage, with a place in the round of 16 already secured, Cassiano Klein looked to rest some of his stars and give opportunities to less-used players. These were the Benfica coach's choices: André Correia, Afonso Jesus, Higor, Kutchy, and Diego Nunes.

Despite some changes, Benfica started stronger than Luxol and, in the 3rd minute, Afonso Jesus opened the scoring and Kutchy, who has been a standout in the competition, made it 2-0 in the following minute. The opponent managed to pull one back, but before halftime, Kutcky scored again and Diego Nunes added another goal.

In the second half, the red team managed the result and looked to slow down the pace of the game, not allowing Luxol to play. Near the final minutes, Pany Varela and Higor extended Benfica's lead, sealing the final score at 6-1.

Cassiano Klein's team thus achieved a perfect record in the Champions League group stage, taking the lead with 9 points from three games. The next fixture is scheduled for November 5th, at home against Caxinas, for another round of the Liga Placard.
