Bizarre! Rafa Silva's goal wrong-footed the Benfica bench... | OneFootball

The final moments of the match were electrifying and full of intense emotion. Just as Rafa Silva made it 2-1 in favor of Benfica, the Reds’ bench erupted in total madness. However, José Mourinho looked quite confused and appeared to be searching for someone.

According to the footage that quickly spread across social media, it is possible to see the Special One pacing around inside Benfica’s technical area, clearly looking for someone, while several Eagles players celebrated what would be the winning goal in the derby.

As the minutes went by, it became clear that Mourinho was in fact looking for Enzo Barrenechea, who was caught up in the middle of the commotion. In the end, Benfica’s coach managed to make contact with the player — who announced that he is going to be a father — and gave him some instructions for the final moments of the match.

It is worth remembering that this was not an isolated case in the match against Sporting. Still in the first half, the 63-year-old coach had a reaction that caught the eye after Anatoliy Trubin saved Luis Suárez’s penalty. At the end of the match, José Mourinho made a gesture toward the camera that will be talked about for a long time.

Benfica temporarily moved up to second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings with 72 points, but the Lions can reclaim the position, since they have a game in hand.
