Benfica find out referee for Chaves trip in the Portuguese Cup | OneFootball

The Arbitration Council (CA) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has revealed the referees appointed for the third round of the Portuguese Cup. David Silva will officiate Benfica's visit to Chaves - See the probable lineup HERE.

The referee from the Porto Football Association will be assisted by Carlos Campos and Nélson Cunha, while Carlos Teixeira is the fourth official for the match. It is worth noting that VAR is unavailable, as it is only introduced in the fifth round of the competition.

This will be David Silva's third match officiating Benfica, and the Eagles have never lost under his watch. The first match was in the 2023/24 season, ending in a draw (1-1) at Rio Ave's home. Last season, the Porto FA referee was in charge of Benfica's victories against Pevidém (2-0) and Tirsense, both in the Portuguese Cup.

In the previous edition, the Eagles reached the final of the Portuguese Cup. After victories against Pevidém (2-0), Estrela da Amadora (7-0), Farense (3-1), Braga (1-0), and Tirsense (9-0 over two legs), the club from Luz fell at Jamor, against Sporting, in extra time (3-1).
