Shining at Benfica, Dodi Lukebakio growing ever more influential | OneFootball

Dodi Lukebakio has been, game by game, bringing more and more joy to the fans. The number 11 of Benfica has been showing increasing influence in the attack of the Eagles, and this was evident in the victory over Vitória Guimarães, when the Belgian provided the assist for the first goal of the team.

As reported by the newspaper Record, the winger, signed from Sevilla, has had a very promising start at the Club of Light and has increased to three the number of consecutive games in which he has had a direct contribution to Glorioso’s result. In the City of Birth, Lukebakio assisted Samuel Dahl’s goal.

It should be remembered that, before the assault on the castle—which turned out to be a very tough match for Benfica—the number 11 had already made his mark by providing a precise shot in the rout against Arouca (5-0) and, against Tondela (3-0), celebrating his first goal as an Eagle.

However, the influence of the Belgian international was already noticeable in his debut match. After missing most of September due to a muscle injury, the winger played his first minutes against Rio Ave, where he assisted Georgiy Sudakov’s goal, although the match ended in a draw (1-1).

Signed from Sevilla in the summer transfer window, Dodi Lukebakio—valued at 20 million euros—has been driving the fans wild. This season, the number 11 has already played 9 matches wearing the Sacred Mantle; five in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 657 minutes he has spent on the pitch, he has accumulated one goal and three assists.
