Ex-Benfica star thrilled with Portugal’s historic win over USA: impressive | OneFootball

In the early hours of the morning, the women’s national football team achieved a historic triumph after defeating the United States of America, 2-1. At the end of the match, happiness was clearly visible on the faces of the Navigators, among them Kika Nazareth, who made a point of highlighting the event.

Benfica, the Barcelona footballer, was ecstatic with the result and the first victory over one of the national teams; “Even though it’s a friendly match, even though it doesn’t count for anything, it’s impressive.”

The athlete, who joined the Blaugrana in 2024 – still with a debt to Clube da Luz – did not miss the opportunity to emphasize that it’s time to celebrate this unprecedented event: “It’s a reason to party, to celebrate, and to leave this match with a big smile.”

“This is a bit what football is about, we’re still the same team, we’re still the same people, there are less good moments, but we’re not a team that goes in thinking the game is lost,” added the Portuguese footballer.

Diana Gomes, Benfica’s central defender and scorer of one of the goals, also reacted to the victory: “We conceded the goal very early, we knew that with any lapse in concentration, they would punish us, we suffered, we kept going, and fortunately we managed to turn it around.”
