Benfica fans thrilled by Seixal gems: showed real grit and determination | OneFootball

Benfica won 4-0 against Estrela da Amadora in the match for the 19th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The duel at Estádio da Luz was marked by the debuts of Daniel Banjaqui and Anísio Cabral with the main team, who provided an assist and scored a goal, respectively. These debuts did not escape the praise of Yolanda Coluna.

"Benfica played very well. The result was great, although they deserved another goal. The youth players showed grit and attitude, we have players. It was a good game, in Benfica's style", said the daughter of Mário Coluna, a Benfica legend, in an interview with the newspaper Record.

Former PSD deputy Duarte Marques, besides highlighting Anísio's dream debut, also praised other moments of the match. "Great game by Benfica, where the highlight ends up being Fehér and the return of Rafa. Good performances from Sidny Cabral and a clear sign from Anísio making his presence known, but the future is there".

"We dominated in the 1st half, with some good moments, but lacked finishing. We played with more heart than head. The goal at the start of the 2nd half ended up calming the team and we secured the victory, which was important after the recent results, the dissatisfaction of the members in recent days, and also because it is before a big game, which is very important for Benfica's history", commented João Manuel Pinto, a former player of the eagles.

The red emblem returns to the field next Wednesday, January 28, against Real Madrid. The match, part of the eighth and final round of the Champions League group stage, against the team led by Álvaro Arbeloa, will be played at 8:00 PM at Luz.
