On election day, Benfica match had a special guest in attendance | OneFootball

Benfica, managed by José Mourinho, defeated Alverca 2-1 in a match for the 21st round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. However, hours before the match against Alverca, the coach watched another game of the Reds.

The "Special One" and João Tralhão, who are part of the Eagles' main team, attended the Benfica Campus last Sunday morning to watch the Benfica under-23 team match in the Liga Revelação, which ended with the Eagles' victory over Braga, 2-1.

Gonçalo Sobral, Duarte Soares, Diogo Rocha, Leo Zietek, Vladimir Mendes, Gil Neves, André Gomes, Coletta, João Afonso, Stevan Manuel, and Jaden Umeh were the initial choices of Vítor Vinha, the coach also responsible for the under-23 formation of the Reds.

After the first half - ending 0-1 - in the remaining 45 minutes, Vítor Vinha's team rolled up their sleeves and went after the Minho team's result. A few minutes into the second half, Benfica secured the equalizer and, towards the end of the match, the Eagles managed the comeback. The 2-1 remained unchanged until the final whistle.

With this result, Benfica continues their good form and adds another victory, following the thrashing of Leixões a week ago. In total, the Eagles climbed to third place in the standings, with 9 points earned.
