Fans agree Benfica’s win over Alverca was fully deserved: more than earned | OneFootball

Benfica won 2-1 against Alverca in the match corresponding to the 21st round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The duel, played at Estádio da Luz, was marked by yet another controlled performance from the “Eagles” and by Anísio Cabral’s second goal wearing the main team’s jersey. These topics did not escape Paula Lobo Antunes’ attention.

“A more than deserved victory for Benfica, who were superior. With questionable refereeing decisions against us, like the yellow card for Mourinho—if I were in his place, I would have reacted the same way. Alverca’s goal was our lapse and a great goal from them, then Anísio came in and suddenly scored,” commented the actress in an interview with the newspaper Record.

Duarte Marques, former deputy, also didn’t forget to mention the luck of the young striker. “A very difficult game for Benfica, more than expected. Despite the immense pressure from the Luz team, luck was not on our side. The Seixal star made the difference,” it reads.

G.Ramos: “We missed many goals”

In a more critical analysis, former Benfica vice-president Gaspar Ramos was not happy with the team’s performance. “We missed many goals and played as we have on many other occasions. I am not satisfied with these games, they are not Benfica-style games, they are Mourinho-style games,” he said.

The next commitment for the reds will be against Santa Clara. Benfica and the “Azoreans” will face each other on February 13th, next Friday, at 6:30 pm, at Estádio São Miguel. The match will count for the 22nd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.
