Gil Vicente player hits out at Benfica: We deserved to win! | OneFootball

Gil Vicente lost at home to Benfica, 2-1, exactly the same result as in the first round at Estádio da Luz. According to Facundo Cáseres, midfielder for the Gilistas, the Barcelos team did enough to come away with all three points in both games.

"It was a well-fought game, just like at the Luz. In both matches, we deserved to win. After the second game against Porto, I said that we could go toe-to-toe with any team," he admitted after the match, speaking to Sport TV's microphone.

The 24-year-old Argentine player continued to emphasize his opinion. "We're on matchday 24 and we've shown that. This team will give its all and continue to show that we take it game by game. We go game by game. In the end, we'll do the math and see where we finish," he stated.

José Mourinho also commented on the final score in the post-match press conference. "A very important win for us, against a team that is currently in 5th, that was in 4th and is fighting for 4th, which makes our victory in a tough match even more valuable," he said.

The Eagles will take to the field again next Sunday, March 8, against Porto. The match, counting for the 25th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Francesco Farioli, will be played at 6:00 pm at Estádio da Luz.
