Benfica beat Estoril 2-1 at the Luz in a match from the fourth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match was marked by a great goal from Clément Lenglet in the second half, a “rocket” that was praised by António Manuel Ribeiro, lead singer of the rock band UHF.

"The three points were what mattered. We could have killed off the game in the first half. The best thing was seeing Palhinha come on — once again an octopus in midfield. And Lenglet’s goal is very good. Less good: our defense is still too soft," he told Record.

Camilo Lourenço, an economic analyst, criticized the Eagles’ lack of efficiency. "Against teams that sit deep, you either rely on speed... or on play between the lines. The first goal, a lucky one, opened things up… until the lapse in concentration in defense, a tradition, for the 2-1. Benfica remain wasteful. Palhinha changes the team," he said.

The unease after Estoril’s goal was Benfica’s own fault, according to former player Bruno Aguiar. "Against a very deep block, Benfica ended the game suffering only through their own fault. There was a lack of efficiency and they conceded a goal from the only shot they allowed Estoril. But it was a fair win," he concluded.
