Mourinho liked what he saw in Benfica v Nacional, but warns: The 2-0 is... | OneFootball

José Mourinho was not entirely satisfied with the performance against Nacional. At the end of the match, in which Benfica beat the islanders 2-0, the Portuguese coach spoke in the flash interview area and analyzed what happened on the pitch at the Luz stadium in front of tens of thousands of Benfica supporters.

"25 shots, eight on target, 15 corners, 2-0", began the Special One, speaking to BTV after the match. According to the Portuguese coach, in less than thirty minutes Benfica had more than enough chances to have built a bigger lead than the one they held until the final whistle.

"The 2-0 does not reflect our game. We had many chances to produce a different result", admitted José Mourinho, acknowledging that the scoreline did not mirror the performance or the number of chances Benfica created over the 90 minutes, in which they were very wasteful.

"We couldn’t do it, but we deservedly won, comfortably, with numbers that do not match our performance", concluded José Mourinho, noting that the main objective, which was to win, was achieved, but that the result is somewhat misleading. The topic was also addressed during the press conference.

It should be remembered that Benfica returned to winning ways in the league after the damaging draw for the Eagles’ standings against Casa Pia. , the Greek player missed a penalty, which could have made it 3-0 for Glorioso.
