Benfica win delays FC Porto's junior title again | OneFootball

Benfica beat Rio Ave 2-1 in Seixal in a postponed match from the 10th round of the national under-19 championship, a result that once again delayed FC Porto’s title celebrations.

Francisco Silva and Dilan Neves scored the goals for the young Eagles, who now climb to second place in the standings, two points ahead of Sporting and four behind leaders FC Porto, who still cannot wrap up the championship title.

The Dragons have already had two chances to mathematically secure the title. In the 11th round, they needed to beat Benfica at home, but had to settle for a draw; in the 12th round, a win in Leiria would have been enough, but they ended up losing 2-1.

In the penultimate round, scheduled for Saturday, FC Porto host Famalicão, second from bottom in the championship phase standings, while Benfica return to Seixal to face UD Leiria.
