Numbers don’t lie: Gil Vicente gave Benfica’s starter a real headache | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin had a tough night in Barcelos. According to reports, Gil Vicente, the team that Benfica had to sweat to beat 2-1, gave the Ukrainian goalkeeper a lot of work. The numbers show that Gil Vicente was the most challenging team for the player.

According to Playmaker, a portal specializing in statistics, César Peixoto’s team is, so far, the club that has given Anatoliy Trubin the most work in Liga Portugal Betclic. In the sum of both matches, both at Luz and in Barcelos, where Benfica won 2-1, the Ukrainian made a total of 10 saves.

According to the same source, in last Monday’s match, March 2, Anatoliy Trubin, in addition to the goal conceded, was called upon to intervene on four decisive occasions, against an opponent that created many difficulties for the Luz club. In total, the Ukrainian international denied Gil Vicente a goal four times.

This record adds to the six saves Trubin made in the first round, when Gil Vicente visited Estádio da Luz. In a match where José Mourinho was coaching Benfica for the second time, the Reds also won 2-1, but, just as in Barcelos, they went through many difficulties.

It is worth remembering that Glorioso responded in the best possible way to their rivals’ victories, maintaining the same points difference. With the 24th round of the championship completed, Benfica now turns its attention to the Clássico against Porto.
