Jorge Amaral swipes at Benfica after Arouca clash: not deserved win | OneFootball

Benfica’s victory against Arouca (2-1), counting for the 26th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, began to be discussed in television debate shows, and Jorge Amaral took advantage of his airtime to state that Benfica should not have claimed all three points.

"It’s not a fair victory. It’s true that Benfica had the expected chances, more ball possession, and played a good second half with more speed, but in terms of opportunities, the most important saves were made by Trubin," he said on the Liga D’Ouro program.

The former Porto goalkeeper reinforced his opinion. "Benfica’s goal only happened because Arouca’s goalkeeper slipped. Trubin made a great save in the 83rd minute that could have led to a different result. Every time Arouca got forward, they created danger," he said.

It’s worth remembering that Anatoliy Trubin admitted that the Eagles were not at their best, but valued the team’s ability to fight until the end to secure all three points on their opponent’s turf. "It wasn’t our most brilliant performance. But character matters on nights like this", he wrote on his social media.
