Win over Gil Vicente lets Benfica finally seal unique record for 2025/26 | OneFootball

Benfica achieved another important milestone in the current edition of the Liga Portugal Betclic. At the end of the match against Gil Vicente, the Eagles secured another three points after winning 2-1, which allowed them to clinch their fourth consecutive victory in the league.

This is an unprecedented achievement in the current season, as reported by Playmaker. According to a post by the statistics portal, the Club of Light managed, on their third attempt, to complete a run of four consecutive wins, something that had not yet happened in 2025/26.

Until now, Benfica had already had two separate opportunities to achieve this feat, but the Club of Light always stumbled in the fourth match. The first attempt happened under the leadership of Bruno Lage, with the Setúbal native missing out on the record after a draw against Santa Clara.

Months later, in January, it was José Mourinho’s turn to try for this achievement. However, just like his predecessor, the Special One also came up empty-handed, after a goalless draw away at Tondela.

To reach this milestone, Benfica had to overcome four different opponents, each with their own challenges. The streak began against Alverca, continued with a visit to Santa Clara, followed by a home match against AFS, and was completed with a hard-fought win over Gil Vicente. Having overcome Gil Vicente, the Eagles now turn their attention to the Clássico against Porto.
