Benfica slip up at home, miss out on fourth win in a row | OneFootball

The Benfica youth team tied 0-0 in their reception of the Farense team this Sunday, September 14, in a match for the fifth round of the Under-17 National Championship. The reds couldn't win and missed what would have been the fourth consecutive victory.

Playing at the Benfica Campus, in Seixal, the reds tried to respond to their favoritism and presented the best chances of the first half. However, the ball stubbornly refused to go in and the scoreboard showed a zero-zero draw between the two teams when the referee sent everyone to rest.

The second half was similar. Despite Farense's attempts to threaten, the Benfica youth team proved capable of stopping the opponent's charge. However, there was a lack of creativity in the final third of the field and the score remained at zero until the referee's final whistle.

With this draw - the first in four games this season - Pedro Faria's team now has 10 points and occupies third place in the table. Alverca (12, but two more games) and Sporting (13, but with one more game played), complete the podium. In the next round, Benfica visits Alverca. The match is scheduled for 11:00 on September 21.

The team presented by the Club da Luz was composed of: Gustavo Santos, Ricardo Batista, Tomás Pedrosa, Tomás Ferreira, Leonardo Tavares, Simão Constantino, Bernardo Nunes, Hugo Gomes, Sevastian Belov, Dylan Patel, and Tomás Almeida.
