Benfica held to another draw, slip into relegation zone in the league | OneFootball

The Benfica junior team tied 2-2 in their visit to Mafra's team, this Sunday, September 14, in a match for the sixth round of the National Championship in the under-19 category. The reds could not win and tied again, for the second consecutive game. On the same day, the juveniles also tied.

Playing at Campo do Texugo, in Mafra, the reds tried to respond to the favoritism and presented the best chances of the first half. However, the ball stubbornly refused to go in and the scoreboard showed a zero-zero tie between the two teams when the referee sent everyone to rest.

The second half was quite different. The Benfica took the lead, by Nazif Inoussa, at 62', but Mafra responded assertively, with two goals in 10 minutes (65' and 75'), to turn the scoreboard around and win at home. The eagles did not turn their backs on the fight and, at 83', Isaac Ferreira scored the goal that would confirm the final score of 2-2.

With this tie - the second in three games this season - Luís Araújo's team now has five points and occupies the sixth place in the table. In the lead is Sporting, with 12 points, but with three more games than the reds at this point in the competition. In the next round, Benfica visits Alverca. The match is scheduled for 3:00 pm on September 20.

The team presented by Clube da Luz was composed of: Thierry Moura, Rafael Martins, Diogo Almeida, Baionco Ufongue, Alassana Baldé, Aladje Silva, Santiago Serra, Francisco Tavares, Flávio Gonçalves, Isaac Chorincas and Martim Teixeira.
