Standout star steers Benfica with goal and late assist | OneFootball

Richard Ríos put Benfica back in front in the 29th minute with a precise low finish, and the hosts beat Moreirense 4-1. The Colombia midfielder later supplied a late clincher to cap a commanding display.

Ríos timed his run into the box and stroked the ball into the bottom right corner, restoring control for the Encarnados. His composure set the tone as Benfica pushed on.

He was busy before the interval, threading a pass that produced a close-range effort saved (41.). After the restart he drew a low save from distance (57.). He then slipped a neat ball for Franjo Ivanović to sweep in the third (89.).

Ríos finished with a goal and an assist, two shots on target, three key passes, seven possessions won and five recoveries, underlining how the Águias' midfield hinged on his work.

Benfica remain second in Liga Portugal and visit Famalicão next. Moreirense host Estrela Amadora next.

How high would you rate Ríos' performance tonight?
