Loss of points in Seixal. On the afternoon of Tuesday, March 10, the under-23 team of Benfica was back in action, hosting Torreense. In a match for the ninth round of the Liga Revelação, the red and white side suffered a defeat (2-1), with André Gomes scoring the goal for the Eagles.

Arnas Voitinovicius, Kevin Pinto, Diogo Rocha, Dinis Telehovschi, Vladimir Mendes, André Gomes, Tomás Cruz, Tiago Freitas, Federico Coletta, Francisco Neto, and Olívio Tomé were Vítor Vinha’s starting choices. On the bench, the Eagles' coach also had João Fidalgo, João Conceição, Leon Zietek, João Capucho, Juvenal Correia, Eduardo Fernandes, Stevan Manuel, and Jair Monteiro available.

Playing at home, at Benfica Campus, Vítor Vinha’s team faced the Torres Vedras side for the fourth time this season, looking to overturn the result suffered in the first round. However, Torreense started stronger and by the 16th minute was already leading 1-0. Just before halftime, André Gomes, converting a penalty, equalized (1-1).

In the second half, Benfica came out more dominant and created more opportunities to take the lead. However, Vítor Vinha’s team could not overcome the inspired performance of the Oeste side’s goalkeeper, who, through his interventions, kept the score level. In stoppage time, the visiting team managed to make it 2-1.

Thus, in the fourth clash of the season, the Eagles—who had lost in the first round of this phase—dropped more points to the Torres Vedras side. Torreense, in turn, now has 15 points.
