Benfica defeated Estrela da Amadora 4-0, this Sunday, January 25th, in a match for the 19th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. After the Champions League setback against Juventus, the Luz team returned to victories in the National Championship.

In a duel played at Estádio da Luz, the eagles were clearly superior, despite missing some chances at times. Still, the first goal came at 42 minutes. Sidny Cabral sent a curling cross into the box, following a corner kick, and Vangelis Pavlidis, with a header, made no mistake.

In the second half, the 2-0 came from a penalty awarded for a foul by Jefferson Encada on Sidny Cabral. Called to take it, Vangelis Pavlidis (55') scored his second in the match. At 58', Sidny Cabral found himself one-on-one with Renan Ribeiro and executed a low shot, leaving no chance for the opposing goalkeeper. At 84', a dream debut for Anísio Cabral. The young forward was brought on at 83 minutes and needed just one minute to score his first goal for the main team.

With this victory – the 27th in 37 matches this season – the team led by José Mourinho now has 45 points and remains in third place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto (52) is in first place (with one less game). Sporting is second with 48.

The red team will return to the field next Wednesday, January 28th, against Real Madrid. The match, for the eighth and final round of the Champions League group stage, against the team led by Álvaro Arbeloa, will be played at 20:00, at Luz.
