Decisive figure delivers for Benfica at Gil Vicente

Andreas Schjelderup settled the game in the 73rd minute with a rising left-footed finish, as Benfica beat Gil Vicente 2-1.

Early on, Schjelderup found pockets on the left and drew fouls high up. He also saw a close-range header blocked after Gianluca Prestianni's cross.

After the restart he dragged one wide from a tight angle, then cut inside and whipped into the top left corner (73.) to restore the Águias' lead.

He finished with three attempts, seven touches in the box and 10 successful final third passes, a blend of threat and link play that kept Gil Vicente pinned back.

Because he repeatedly received between the lines on the left, his carries and quick give-and-goes helped the Encarnados control the decisive phases.

Benfica sit third in Liga Portugal and the Encarnados host Porto next. Gil Vicente visit Estrela Amadora next.
