Benfica signing grateful after Rio Ave draw: magnificent | OneFootball

Dodi Lukebakio expressed his happiness at making his debut for Benfica at the Estádio da Luz. The eagles' summer reinforcement arrived at the Club in the last moments of the transfer window, and only played his first minutes in the sacred mantle in a one-all draw against Rio Ave. He reacted through his personal account on the social network Instagram.

"I can only be grateful for what Jesus did yesterday, I made my debut in my new home after the injury", began Dodi Lukebakio, who, in the summer market, swapped Sevilla for Benfica, in a deal that cost about 20 million euros to the red coffers.

The eagles' winger continued, already thinking about the next challenge, where Benfica will try to react to the negative result of the last match: "Eager to live more special moments with you in this magnificent stadium. Thank you for the support and see you on Friday".

Remember that Dodi Lukebakio arrived at Benfica, coming from Sevilla, recovering from an injury, which was a crucial factor for his debut to have taken so long to happen. He played, against Rio Ave, only the third game of the season, since he had already played two matches in La Liga.

Lukebakio even earned words from José Mourinho in the pre-match press conference, when the coach explained the management that was being done with the player. He entered the final stretch of the match with Rio Ave, and ended up being very important, adding an assist for goals to several dangerous moves in the minutes he added to the game, which ended in a one-all draw.
