Benfica concede late equaliser, held by bottom side in final minute | OneFootball

The Benfica under-23 team drew 1-1 against Estoril at the Estádio Nacional do Jamor, in Lisbon, in a match counting for the ninth round of series B of the Liga Revelação. The Eagles let precious points slip away against the team that occupies the last place in the league.

The Benfica team took to the field determined to demonstrate their superiority. The reds wanted to continue their good run of form, but in a first half with little effectiveness, they were unable to score, and the game reached halftime at 0-0.

In the second half, Benfica responded. The Eagles came out strong and managed to take the lead on the scoreboard in the very first minute of the second half. Despite creating several opportunities and controlling the game, the red team ended up conceding the equalizer in the 90+1’ minute.

With this draw – the first in 11 games this season – Vítor Vinha’s men now have 25 points and are in first place, seven points ahead of Torreense (who have two games in hand). The next match will be against União de Leiria and is scheduled for Thursday, November 13, at 3:00 pm, at Benfica Campus.

The starting lineup presented by the red team was composed of: Gonçalo Sobral, Federico Coletta, Martim Ferreira, Guilherme Gaspar, Vladimir Mendes, André Gomes, Miguel Figueiredo, João Afonso, Matteo Neves, Olívio Tomé, and Gustavo Fereira.
