Women's derby between FC Porto and Benfica B ends in goalless draw | OneFootball

FC Porto and Benfica B drew 0-0 in the first derby between the women’s teams, in a match for the third round of the Championship Qualification phase of the 2nd Division. Despite dominating and creating chances, the Porto players were unable to break through the opposing defense at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center.

With this result, the blue and white team remains at the top of the table, with 13 points. The team from Luz stays in second place with 11 points, but has already played six matches, one more than Porto (five).

FC Porto’s players were the most dangerous, especially in the second half. Shortly after the restart, Eliza Turner struck the Benfica crossbar with force. Later, in the 68th minute, Lily Bryant came close to scoring, but her header was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Despite showing superiority and Benfica B fielding players from the main squad, the score remained unchanged until the end.

This was the second of three matches for Porto in seven days, just 72 hours after their 1-0 victory over CA Ouriense. Coach Daniel Chaves, still serving a suspension, made three changes to the starting eleven, bringing in Mariana Queirós, Eliza Turner, and Lara Perruca to replace Sofia Silva, Laerke Tingleff, and Lenka Mazúchová.

In the second half, the coach brought on Laerke Tingleff, Mady Soumare, Adriana Semedo, Lenka Mazúchová, and Cristina Ferreira in an attempt to overcome the Lisbon resistance, but without success.

FC Porto’s next match is scheduled for Saturday at 3:00 pm, with an away game against Clube de Albergaria – currently third in the standings – for the seventh round of the championship.
