Decisive figure from the spot carries Benfica past Famalicão | OneFootball

Evangelos Pavlidis converted a penalty in the 34th minute to give Benfica a 1-0 win over Famalicão. He is now on 14 Liga Portugal goals, top of the scoring chart.

After VAR confirmed the spot kick, Pavlidis struck his penalty into the top right corner to break the deadlock for the Águias.

After the restart, he kept pressing the back line and offered a constant outlet before making way (81.).

He finished with two attempts, one on target, four touches in the box and one successful dribble, underlining how he led the Encarnados' threat inside the penalty area.

The Encarnados are third and visit Braga next. Famalicão, sixth, host Estrela Amadora next.
