Gil Dias did not hide his frustration after the final whistle of Benfica – Famalicão. The former Eagles player felt that the match should have ended in a draw. In his opinion, the penalty awarded against Nicolás Otamendi was incorrect and unfairly penalized the visitors.

"It was 1-0, it should have been 1-1"

The winger lamented the way the match was decided on the field. "We had good moments, Benfica had good moments, and the game was decided by a penalty. I haven't seen if it was a penalty or not, but it's sad that the game was decided like this".

Gil Dias emphasized the quality shown in the Benfica – Famalicão match: "We are a team that wants to play good football, and I believe we have already been proving that. We came here and played face to face. It was 1-0, it should have been 1-1, a draw, but we are satisfied with our situation".

"It's a pride to come back here"

About returning to a place he knows well, the player was clear in his response. "Yes, I was once part of Benfica, it's a pride to come back here, as always. But now I am with Famalicão, I feel like I am one of Famalicão, and that's what's important to me".

The athlete represented the Eagles for a season and a half, between 2021 and 2023. During that period, the left-footer played 20 games, scored one goal, and made two assists. Interestingly, the only goal was scored against Sporting, at the Estádio José Alvalade.
