Daniel Banjaqui abused during Benfica match | OneFootball

The match between Vizela and Benfica B, for the 28th round of Liga Portugal 2, ended in a 2-1 win for the Eagles, but it was marked by moments of great tension and emotion on and off the pitch. The game was intense, with chances for both teams, but the insults directed at Daniel Banjaqui were the main focus.

In the second half, the Benfica winger, who could push a teammate toward the exit, was involved in a heated incident with Vizela fans during a throw-in. The player reacted to provocations from the stands and ended up being shown a yellow card.

Vizela also had a turbulent match from a disciplinary point of view, with two players sent off: Ítalo Henrique in the 86th minute and Godwin, further increasing the tension in the closing minutes. Even after the final whistle, emotions remained high, with players such as Diogo Prioste celebrating alongside Nélson Veríssimo.

This is not the first heated episode between these teams. In 2023, Roger Schmidt, then Benfica’s coach, was sent off after reacting to provocations from Vizela supporters. During the incident, Schmidt threw back a bottle launched from the stands, later saying: "I reacted a little to the provocation of the fans behind me, which is not allowed, so I accept the red card".

This season, playing for Benfica, Daniel Banjaqui — valued at 5 million euros — has already made 28 appearances: 15 in Liga Portugal Meu Super, seven in the UEFA Youth League, three in Liga Revelação, two in Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Taça de Portugal. .
