Benfica duo taunt Sporting after derby win: what colour is Lisbon? | OneFootball

Benfica won (2-1) away at Sporting and climbed to second place in the league, with one more point than the Lions, who, however, have a game in hand. At the end of the derby, some Benfica players reacted on social media, and two of them even said, in a jab at their rivals, that the Portuguese capital has only one color.

"Lisbon is red," wrote Gianluca Prestianni on his official Instagram account, while Dodi Lukebakio struck a similar tone. "What color is Lisbon, everyone? Red!!!" reads a post shared by the Belgian international.

Anatoliy Trubin, who shone by saving a penalty from Luis Suárez, also highlighted the team’s fighting spirit. "Derbies are never easy. Great team win. Keep fighting until the end. Great character. Great team win. Until the end," wrote the Ukrainian goalkeeper, also on Instagram.

Fredrik Aursnes also reacted to Benfica’s win. The Norwegian midfielder highlighted Benfica’s ability to dig deep to leave Alvalade with the victory, but reminded that the fight for anything higher than third place does not depend on the Eagles alone.

As their next challenge, the red-and-white side will face Moreirense. The match, part of Matchday 31 of the Liga Portugal Betclic, is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, at 6:00 pm. The game will be played at the Estádio da Luz.
