Vangelis Pavlidis shines and seals victory in Moreirense v Benfica | OneFootball

Benfica - with Real Madrid keeping an eye on two of its regular starters - went to Moreirense this Sunday and won 4-0, staying in the title race, waiting for a possible slip from Porto. In a match counting for the 14th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, the goals for the Eagles were scored by Vangelis Pavlidis (36’, 57’ and 69’) and Fredrik Aursnes (75’). Check out all the highlights of the match.

Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, Nicolás Otamendi, Tomás Araújo, Samuel Dahl (85’), Richard Ríos, Enzo Barrenechea (82’), Fredrik Aursnes, Leandro Barreiro (46’), Georgiy Sudakov (78’) and Vangelis Pavlidis (78’). Rodrigo Rego (46’), Franjo Ivanovic (78’), Andreas Schelderup (78’), Manu Silva (82’) and José Neto (85’) came on during the match.

In a match dominated from start to finish, José Mourinho’s team showed security in their defensive process and made the most of Moreirense’s defensive mistakes. Vangelis Pavlidis, as usual, found the back of the net and strengthened his status as the top scorer in the National Championship.

With this victory – the 18th in 28 matches this season – Benfica now has 32 points in 14 matches (nine wins and five draws) and remains in third place in Liga Portugal Betclic. Porto is first (37 points in 13 games) and Sporting second (35 points in 14 matches).

As far as the National Championship is concerned, the Eagles will be back in action next December 22, at 8:45 pm, hosting Famalicão. Before that, José Mourinho’s team visits Farense next Wednesday, at 8:45 pm, in a match for the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup.
