Watch the highlights of Benfica v Tondela (Video) | OneFootball

Benfica has secured another three points in the Liga Portugal Betclic, after a 2-0 victory over Tondela, in a match counting for the third round of the national championship, in which the eagles are attempting to reclaim the championship. See HERE how the match unfolded.

Benfica started off pressuring, and created some dangerous opportunities right at the start of the match. They didn't score immediately, but they would manage to do so still in the first half. At the 32' mark, Franjo Ivanovic, a new addition to the team for 2025/26, scored the first goal of the match, after an assist from Dedic.

The eagles did not slow down, and continued to dominate their opponent in search of the second goal. Ten minutes after the first goal, the eagles' lead was doubled. This time it was Aursnes, with an assist from Schjelderup, who made the score Benfica - Tondela 2-0 before the referee blew the whistle for halftime.

The second half started with a scare for Benfica. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty after a foul by Obrador, in one of the moments when Tondela posed the most threat in the match. However, after a VAR review, it was determined that the infraction had occurred outside the Benfica area, and the decision was reversed.

As the second half progressed, Benfica tried to cool down the match, and control the two-goal lead they carried from halftime. However, the Estádio da Luz would still celebrate one more time: at the 90+6' mark, in the last minute of the match, Prestianni scored the goal that sealed the final 3-0, after a persistent play.
