Benfica win delays FC Porto juniors' title again | OneFootball

Benfica defeated Rio Ave 2-1 in Seixal, in a postponed match from the 10th round of the national under-19 championship, a result that once again delayed FC Porto’s title celebrations.

Francisco Silva and Dilan Neves scored the goals for the young Eagles, who now move up to 2nd place in the standings, with two more points than Sporting and four fewer than leaders FC Porto, who still cannot wrap up the championship.

The Dragons have already had two chances to mathematically secure the title. In the 11th round, they needed to beat Benfica at home, but were held to a draw; in the 12th round, they only needed to win in Leiria, but ended up losing 1-2.

In the penultimate round, scheduled for Saturday, FC Porto host Famalicão, second from bottom in the championship round standings, while Benfica return to Seixal to face UD Leiria.
