Benfica player booed loudly during the Clássico against Porto | OneFootball

In the Benfica - Porto (2-2) match, Rafa Silva had a performance to forget and the Benfica fans did not forgive him. At the moment when the announcer stated that the number 27 would be coming off to make way for Franjo Ivanovic, a chorus of boos could be heard. At other moments during the match, when the player lost the ball, the fans did not hesitate to show their displeasure with what they were seeing.

In the 57th minute, when the Eagles were trailing 2-0 and struggling to reach Diogo Costa’s area, boos rang out. Even so, after the Eagles managed to equalize, the fans bid farewell with applause.

It should be noted that the Benfica forward, by playing in this match, made history in the Benfica shirt. Consequently, as had already been reported by our newspaper, Rafa Silva completed his 600th career appearance.

It should be mentioned that, with this draw – the ninth in 46 matches this season – José Mourinho’s men have 59 points and remain in third place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto (66) is in first place. Sporting is second with 62.
