Alongside the women’s team, which also played on the morning of this Saturday, the under-19 squad of Benfica was in action in Seixal, where they hosted Santa Clara in a match counting for the 19th round of the national championship in this category. At the end of the 90 minutes, the young Eagles celebrated a 2-0 victory over the Azoreans.

Playing at home, the Eagles’ Junior team continued their good run of form, after having thrashed Bayer Leverkusen midweek in a match for the UEFA Youth League. On that occasion, the youngsters, led by Vítor Vinha, dispatched the Germans with a 5-0 win.

In this morning’s match, which coincided with the second round of the elections, the red team resolved the game still in the first half, going into the break leading by two goals to nil. In the space of four minutes, in the 21st and 25th minutes, the Eagles were already up 2-0.

The victory allows Benfica to continue their good form in the championship after a more difficult start. Before hosting Santa Clara, it should be remembered that the red and white team defeated Académico de Viseu 2-1 in a postponed league match.
