After Casa Pia v Porto, Benfica notch up key achievement in Europe | OneFootball

Porto lost for the first time in the current edition of the Liga Portugal Betclic in Rio Maior, against Casa Pia (1-2). After the blue and white defeat, Benfica is the only undefeated team in the national championship, and has an unmatched record in Europe.

The Eagles have 13 wins and seven draws in 20 league matches. The last team to defeat the Reds in the league was, interestingly, Casa Pia. The Geese defeated Benfica 3-1 on January 25, 2025, in the 19th round of last season's championship.

More than 38 matches without losing, however, do not guarantee the top spot for the Reds, who are nine points behind Porto. The last defeat of the Dragons in the league was on April 26, 2025, when they were defeated in Amadora by Estrela (0-2), still with Martín Anselmi as the head coach.

In the old continent, only five other teams match the feat of José Mourinho's team, and none are part of the seven main European leagues. The clubs are: Vardar (North Macedonia) - 13 wins and 3 draws; Tre Fiori (San Marino) - 15W and 3D; Slavia Prague (Czech Republic) - 13W and 7D; Fenerbahçe (Turkey) - 13W and 7D; and Kí Klaksvík (Faroe Islands) - 23W and 4D.

It is worth remembering that Benfica will host Alverca next Sunday, February 8, at Estádio da Luz, with the match scheduled for 8:30 PM. Currently, the Eagles are in third place in the Liga Portugal Betclic, with 46 points, behind Sporting (51 points) and Porto (55 points).
