Jorge Amaral swipes at Benfica after Arouca clash: not deserved win | OneFootball

Benfica's victory against Arouca (2-1), counting for the 26th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, began to be discussed in television debate shows, and Jorge Amaral took advantage of his airtime to state that Benfica should not have claimed all three points.

"It is not a fair victory, it's true that Benfica had expected opportunities, more ball possession, and played a good second half with more speed, but, in terms of chances, the most important saves were made by Trubin," he said on the program Liga D'Ouro.

The former Porto goalkeeper reinforced his opinion. "Benfica's goal only happened because Arouca's goalkeeper slipped. Trubin made a great save in the 83rd minute that could have led to a different result. Every time Arouca got forward, they created danger," he said.

It is worth remembering that Anatoliy Trubin admitted that the red team was not at its best, but valued the ability to fight until the end to secure the three points on the opponent's ground. "It was not our most brilliant performance. But character matters on nights like this", he wrote on his social media.

The red emblem returns to the field next Saturday, March 21, against Vitória de Guimarães. The match, counting for the 27th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Gil Lameiras, will be played at 6:00 p.m. at Estádio da Luz.
