Fredrik Aursnes reaches key milestone in Moreirense – Benfica clash | OneFootball

The match in Moreira de Cónegos was marked by a stellar performance from Fredrik Aursnes. The Norwegian was decisive in the offensive maneuver, directly contributing to the increase in the final score (4-0). The number eight managed, for the third time since arriving at Luz, to both score and assist in the same match.

Quality in any area of the pitch

This statistical feat is not unprecedented, but it is rare in the athlete’s career. The first time this happened was last season (2024/25), against Casa Pia. Already this season, the Scandinavian repeated the feat against Nice, and now once again combined both decisive actions in the tough away match in Minho.

Versatility continues to be the player’s trademark in the Eagles’ tactical setup. Known as a true jack-of-all-trades, the footballer performs various roles with the same effectiveness. Whether in midfield, on the wings, or at full-back, the tactical competence he offers the coaching staff is always unquestionable and valuable.

Focus shifts to the Portuguese Cup

This season, Aursnes’s numbers – valued at 20 million euros – reflect his significant influence in the starting eleven. The Nordic player has featured in 28 official matches, accumulating 2,481 minutes on the pitch. With his performance in this round, the midfielder raised his personal tally to three goals and six assists.

The Eagles now turn their attention to the Portuguese Cup. Benfica travels to the Algarve to face Farense in the round of 16 of the prestigious competition. The match is scheduled for next Wednesday, December 17, at 8:45 pm, at Estádio de São Luís, demanding maximum focus to progress further.
