After hard-fought win over Alverca, Benfica stars set the tone | OneFootball

Suffering until the end with hearts in hands. On the night of last Sunday, February 8, the Benfica team had to sweat to win, at the Estádio da Luz, against Alverca, by 2-1. Andreas Schjelderup and Anísio Cabral made the difference for the eagles. Check out the match report.

After the victory, club starters that same night, Sidny Cabral and Anatoliy Trubin acknowledge that it was necessary to suffer in a game full of strong emotions. "Tough fight," writes jersey number 15, for example, in a post on Instagram.

The former Estrela da Amadora player, however, has no doubts about the fairness of the victory. "Well deserved," he noted, in a post showing himself in action, on the same social network. Meanwhile, Trubin marked the team's return to victories, after the draw in Tondela (0-0): "Back to the rhythm."

With the triumph over the Ribatejo team, Benfica strengthens its position in the championship. After 21 rounds of the Liga Portugal Betclic, the Club of Light is in third place on the table, with 49 points, getting closer to the leader, Porto (56p), who drew (1-1) this Monday against Sporting (52), at Dragão.

It should be noted that the eagles will take the field again next Friday, February 13, at 6:30 PM, against Santa Clara, at Estádio São Miguel. The match will count for the 22nd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.
