Benfica throw away 3-0 lead, suffer another league defeat | OneFootball

Benfica B team lost (4-3) this Sunday, November 2, against Farense. In a match for the 10th round of Liga Portugal 2 Meu Super 25/26, the young Eagles were unable to secure their third victory of the season, after defeating Paços de Ferreira last Sunday.

In a match held at the Benfica Campus in Seixal, the Eagles started the game well. Gonçalo Oliveira opened the scoring in the 25th minute, and then Jelani Trevisan – the Belgian scored twice, in the 29th and 33rd minutes, giving the Eagles a 3-0 lead at halftime.

In the second half, it was a complete collapse for Benfica. The Eagles entered the second half with a three-goal advantage, but conceded in the 63rd, 73rd, 78th, and 88th minutes, in a series of plays that allowed Farense to come from behind, something that seemed unlikely when the referee blew for halftime. At the end of the match, it was 4-3 for the team from Algarve.

With this defeat – the fourth in 10 games this season – Nelson Veríssimo’s side drop to 14th place in the table, with 10 points from 10 matches. The Liga 2 standings are led by Sporting – the Lisbon rivals have 21 points from nine games played.

Benfica B team remains focused on the national championship for their next match. The Eagles will face Vizela next Saturday, November 8. The match, which will take place at the Seixal Campus, is scheduled to kick off at 18:00.
