Benfica pull off another comeback, move up to third in the league | OneFootball

New positive result for the under-23 team. On the morning of this Sunday, February 8, Benfica hosted Braga and won by two goals to one, in a match counting for the first round (delayed) of the champion qualification phase of the Liga Revelação.

Gonçalo Sobral, Duarte Soares, Diogo Rocha, Leo Zietek, Vladimir Mendes, Gil Neves, André Gomes, Coletta, João Afonso, Stevan Manuel, and Jaden Umeh were the initial choices of Vítor Vinha, the coach who is also responsible for the under-19 formation of the reds.

Playing in Seixal, the red formation started stronger, determined to gain an advantage on the scoreboard. However, despite several wasted opportunities, Braga took advantage of the opponent's inefficiency and took the lead, winning 1-0 until halftime.

In the second half, Vítor Vinhas' team rolled up their sleeves and went after the Minho team's result. A few minutes into the second half, Benfica secured the equalizer and, in the final stretch of the match, the eagles managed to turn the game around. The 2-1 score remained unchanged until the final whistle.

With this result, Benfica continues their good form and adds another victory, after the thrashing imposed on Leixões a week ago. In the standings, the eagles climbed to third place with 9 points.
