Benfica held by Vit. de Guimarães (1-1) and slip to... fourth | OneFootball

Benfica’s U15 team drew against Vitória de Guimarães (1-1) this Wednesday, June 10, in a match from the 16th round of the Championship Qualification Phase in the youth category, and remain in free fall in the standings.

At the Dr. António Pimenta Machado Sports Complex, the Eagles - who were thrashed by Braga in the previous round - started somewhat unusually, which allowed the Minho side to create a few dangerous chances. However, as the minutes went by, the club from Luz began to respond and impose their game.

Over the course of the 80 minutes, the match was marked by balance between the two teams, with the Eagles having some difficulty containing Vitória’s attacks. Tiago Sousa, a 15-year-old forward, scored the goal for the team from Luz.

With this draw - their ninth in 34 matches this season - João Faria Rodrigues’ side are in fourth place with 30 points, eight behind leaders Porto (38). Sporting are second (35), followed by Braga (31).

In the next round, the young Eagles will face Tondela. The match is scheduled for Sunday, June 14, at 3:00 pm, in Seixal. The Beira-based club currently sits sixth in the standings in this final phase with 20 points.
