The Benfica B team defeated Oliveirense 2-0, this Saturday, December 6th. In a match of the 13th round, the young reds breathe easier and move out of the relegation zone, after the midweek draw against the English team Nottingham Forest.

In a match held at the Benfica Campus in Seixal, the game started quite balanced, with both teams managing to reach the opponent's area. From the 20th minute, the eagles began to press more intensely. João Rego isolated Trevisan, but the opposing goalkeeper arrived first, although he didn't catch the ball and left the goal open for João Veloso, who fumbled at the moment of the shot. Before the break, the reds opened the scoring. A corner taken by Prioste to the far post, with Joshua Wynder (41') jumping higher and heading the ball into the back of the net.

In the second half, the eagles didn't take their foot off the pedal and João Veloso made it 2-0 at 55'. From the rebound of a clearance, he shot first-time into the top left corner, leaving Ricardo Ribeiro with no chance. The midfielder had another opportunity to score a third, but the result remained unchanged.

With this victory - the third in 15 games this season - the team led by Nélson Veríssimo is in 12th place in the standings with 14 points. Portimonense and Paços de Ferreira are now in the last places and in the relegation zone (12 points), although they have one game less played.
