Lopes Cabral shone brightly in Benfica's 4-0 victory over Estrela da Amadora in the 19th round of the Liga Betclic: he scored his first goal for the Eagles, provided an assist, and even won a penalty against his former team, which he left at the beginning of the month for 6 million euros.

The 23-year-old Cape Verdean winger, named MVP of the match, expressed his satisfaction. "I am very grateful for this moment. I waited many years for this moment and I am very happy to score my first goal. But the most important thing is the victory and we have to keep winning," he began by saying to BTV.

A special game for Cabral, who reunited with the club that launched him in Portugal. "Yes, [I played] against my former teammates, against my former club. It's not something normal for me, it was a little strange, but the most important thing today was the victory and we have to continue," he emphasized.

Although the young winger cannot be present as he is not registered, it should be noted that the Eagles will host Real Madrid next Wednesday, the 28th, starting at 8:00 PM, in the last round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. The refereeing team is already known.

In the 1,597 minutes he was on the pitch, he recorded six goals and four assists.
