Benfica score after 30 seconds but lose the Super Cup 2-1 | OneFootball

The Benfica women's football team lost the Super Cup to Torreense by 2-1 this Sunday, September 7, in a match played at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, in Estoril. Despite a good start to the game, it was the team from Torres Vedras that claimed the trophy. See HERE how the match unfolded.

The reds almost started with a win, with Diana Silva scoring in the very first minute. But Gonçalo Nunes' team responded quickly: in the 12th minute, Gerda Konst equalized with a header after a cross from Jesi Rossman.

Still in the first half, in the 36th minute, the comeback happened. After a free kick from the side taken by Paloma Lemos, Lena Pauels saved the first attempt, but Jesi Rossman was in the right place to make it 2-1 and make things harder for Ivan Baptista, who made his debut as head coach of the Clube da Luz.

Benfica even celebrated before halftime, through Lúcia Alves, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review, which flagged Diana Silva offside at the start of the play. In the second half, the eagles tried to react, but Torreense held on to their lead and won the competition for the first time.

After this match, the red team will return to the field next Sunday, September 14, to face Racing Power. The duel, counting for the first round of the Portuguese League, is scheduled for 11:00 and will be played in Seixal.
