Jorge Corrula: Fans insulted, Benfica lost identity after Casa Pia | OneFootball

Jorge Corrula believes that “Benfica has lost its identity” and the draw against Casa Pia is further proof of that. In his analysis of the draw in the 11th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, the actor points the finger at Lukebakio and Sudakov, as well as at José Mourinho himself.

“Benfica has lost its identity. Lukebakio was nowhere to be seen, Sudakov neither, apart from the goal. Benfica isn’t playing football. Seeing my coach in the middle of the pitch at the end of the game next to the referee is an insult to the fans,” said Jorge Corrula, in statements to the newspaper Record, analyzing Benfica - Casa Pia.

At the end of the match, following the controversial penalty awarded for an alleged foul by António Silva, José Mourinho and Mário Branco approached Gustavo Correia, the match referee, and asked for explanations, with Benfica’s general director ultimately being sent off.

With this draw – the fifth in 22 games this season –, Benfica now has 25 points from 11 matches in Liga Portugal Betclic (seven wins, four draws, and zero defeats) and sits in third place. Porto is first (31 points in 11 games) and Sporting second (28 points in 11 matches).

Benfica will be back on the pitch against Atlético for the Portuguese Cup. The fourth-round match of the main competition is scheduled for November 21 at 8:30 pm and will be broadcast on RTP 1. As for the league, the Eagles will travel to Nacional’s ground (November 29, 6:00 pm).
