Benfica slip up again, miss golden chance in the league | OneFootball

Disappointment in the Capital of Furniture. On the afternoon of Saturday, March 14, the Benfica B team played at the home of Paços de Ferreira. In a match for the 26th round of Liga Portugal Meu Super, the Eagles lost to the Beavers 1-0.

Diogo Ferreira, Rui Silva, Martim Ferreira, Tiago Parente, Daniel Banjaqui, Tomás Cruz, Diogo Prioste, José Neto, Gonçalo Moreira, Peter Edokpolor, and Henrique Araújo were Nélson Veríssimo’s starting choices. On the bench, the coach also had Alexander Sandahl, Ricardo Ribeiro, Francisco Neto, Rodrigo Rêgo, Olívio Tomé, Federico Coletta, Jelani Trevisan, and Eduardo Fernandes.

Playing away from home, in the Capital of Furniture, the Clube da Luz started out more determined to secure the victory, but faced an opponent who was also looking to earn points necessary for their fight to avoid relegation. Both teams created several opportunities, but Benfica went into halftime with a goalless draw.

In the second half, Paços de Ferreira increasingly threatened the goal defended by Diogo Ferreira, with Benfica unable to contain the opponent’s offensive onslaught. In the final stretch of the match, the Paços side celebrated as they managed to open the scoring in the 72nd minute, setting the result at 1-0.

Thus, Clube da Luz lost momentum in the championship once again, unable to build on the comfortable win they had achieved the previous week, against Feirense. After 26 rounds, Benfica sits in tenth place in the competition, with 34 points. Paços de Ferreira, meanwhile, can breathe easier as they move out of the relegation zone.
