Benfica slip up away (1-1) and could go four points behind Porto | OneFootball

Benfica’s under-15 team drew against Paços de Ferreira (1-1) this Saturday, April 18, in a sixth-round match of the Championship Qualification Phase for the U15 level, and may now be further away from winning the title.

Over the course of the 80 minutes, the match was marked by balance between the two teams, with the Eagles having some difficulties containing the Beavers’ attacks. Rúben Tavares, a 15-year-old youngster, scored the goal for the Reds.

With this draw — the seventh in 29 matches this season — João Faria Rodrigues’ side are in third place in the standings with 22 points, one behind Porto (23, but with one game in hand). In the next round, the young Eagles travel to Estoril. The match is scheduled for Saturday, May 9, at 11:00 am, at the opponent’s ground.

Benfica’s starting eleven was made up of: Matvey Volyk (Goalkeeper), Diogo Matos, Lourenço Meireles, Leonardo Gori, José Fonseca, Gabriel Dias, João Campos, Leonardo Lima, Gonçalo Tavares, Rúben Tavares and Jesus Aquino.
