Rui Costa's reaction didn't go unnoticed at Nacional v Benfica | OneFootball

Rui Costa was an attentive spectator at Choupana and the images prove it. The President of Benfica was present in the stands, as is common, and watched the game that ended with another victory for the reds. However, there was a specific moment that did not go unnoticed by those present at the stadium.

At the 60th minute, when Nacional took the lead, Rui Costa was seen putting his hands on his head, a clear sign of concern. At the moment of Jesús's goal, the Sport TV broadcast captured the President with his face hidden in his hands.

However, the frustration and concern that Rui Costa felt eventually turned into reactions of celebration and joy, as Benfica, in the final minutes, achieved an epic comeback thanks to goals by Gianluca Prestianni and Vangelis Pavlidis.

It should be noted that before heading to Funchal, Rui Costa answered several questions posed by journalists on the way to Humberto Delgado Airport. Among the answers given, the President reacted to the statements João Félix made about Benfica.

Having overcome Nacional, the team under José Mourinho's command enjoys a day off today, before returning to training next Monday, December 1st. At the end of next week, Benfica has a scheduled match with Sporting, on December 5th, at Estádio da Luz.
