Sporting duo spark epic comeback at Farense - Benfica B | OneFootball

The Farense – Benfica B match in the Segunda Liga was not for the faint of heart. The Eagles were leading 3-0, but the Faro side, led by Jorge Silas and featuring Miguel Menino, ended up claiming all three points, triumphing 4-3 in one of the best games of the season.

In the 25th minute, Gonçalo Oliveira opened the scoring, and shortly after, in the 29th and 33rd minutes, Jelani Trevisan extended Benfica B’s lead. However, against all odds, Jorge Silas and Miguel Menino’s Farense didn’t back down and responded in the second half.

First, in the 63rd minute, Franco Romero pulled one back for the Algarve side. In the final 20 minutes, André Candeias (73’) made it 3-2, and right after, Rui Costa, assisted by Miguel Menino, leveled the match. But the best was yet to come, as in the 88th minute, Diego Dorregaray scored the winning goal.

With this victory – their sixth in 11 matches this season – Farense now has 14 points from nine games in the Segunda Liga (four wins, two draws, and three losses). Jorge Silas’ team sits in sixth place, level on points with Marítimo, and is seven points behind the leader, Sporting B (21 points).

A note on Miguel Menino, who completed his entire youth development at Sporting. The midfielder, who moved to Farense in 2024 and was targeted by a historic Portuguese club, has had a challenging start to the season, with 342 minutes played in seven games. The assist in Farense – Benfica B was the 22-year-old’s first goal contribution of the season.
