Bizarre! Rafa Silva's goal wrong-footed Benfica's bench... | OneFootball

The final moments of the match were electrifying and full of intense emotion. At the moment when Rafa Silva made it 2-1 in favor of Benfica, the Reds’ bench went into total frenzy; however, José Mourinho looked quite confused and seemed to be searching for someone.

According to footage that quickly spread across social media, it is possible to see the Special One pacing around inside Benfica’s technical area, clearly looking for someone, while several Eagles players celebrated what would be the winning goal in the derby.

As the minutes passed, it became clear that Mourinho was in fact looking for Enzo Barrenechea, who was in the middle of the commotion. In the end, the Benfica coach managed to make contact with the player — who has announced that he is going to be a father — and gave him some instructions for the final moments of the match.

It is worth remembering that this was not an isolated incident in the match against Sporting. Still in the first half, the 63-year-old coach had a reaction that caught the eye after Anatoliy Trubin saved Luis Suárez’s penalty. At the end of the match, José Mourinho made a gesture toward the camera that will be talked about for a long time.

Benfica temporarily moved up to second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic with 72 points, but the Lions can regain the position, as they have a game in hand.
