Last-gasp goals leave Benfica in hot water in the league | OneFootball

The B team of Benfica was in action on the afternoon of Thursday, January 29, where they faced Lusitano de Lourosa. The match took place in Seixal, and Nélson Veríssimo's team could not go beyond a 2-1 defeat against the opposing team, in a game that counted for the 20th round of the Liga Portugal Meu Super.

Diogo Ferreira, Kevin Pinto, Martim Ferreira, João Fonseca, Gonçalo Oliveira, José Neto, Diogo Prioste, Miguel Figueiredo, Rodrigo Rêgo, João Rego, and Francisco Silva were Nélson Veríssimo's initial choices. On the bench, the Portuguese coach also had Ricardo Ribeiro, Francisco Neto, Leandro Martins, Olívio Tomé, Gonçalo Moreira, Peter Edokpolor, Rui Silva, Tomás Cruz, and Jelani Trevisan.

Playing at home, Benfica sought to achieve a more positive result against Lourosa, who had defeated the eagles in the first round of the championship, 2-1. Despite several opportunities for both sides, neither team managed to open the scoring and, at halftime, it was a draw.

In the second half, opportunities arose again for both sides; however, effectiveness continued to be absent. Nevertheless, near the final whistle, to the dismay of the reds, Lourosa insisted and was fortunate, opening the scoring through Tiago Dias and, later, Miguel Pereira made it 2-0.

At the start of the second round of the championship, the Club of Light loses points again, after only managing a draw against Leixões in the previous round. With this result, Benfica drops to the 10th position in the Liga Portugal Meu Super, maintaining the same 26 points.
