Roger Schmidt’s eagle continues its imperial flight this season, and this Sunday, with a 5-1 win over Estoril, it has increased to 23 games without defeat, a record that allows the German coach to surpass Jorge Jesus (2011/12).
The main novelty in the red team was the appearance of Chiquinho in place of David Neres. Goncalo Ramos did not recover from his injuries and remained on the bench, replaced by Petar Musa. And the exchange was complete, as we shall see later.
Benfica took the reins of power very early. With fast and objective football, in which Musa took on the role of a reference on the court.
It is true that Benfica had more, but it was Estoril who had the best chances to score and Rodrigo Martins was isolated, allowing Odysseas to defend.
This move left the Reds on their toes. Until the Eagles took the lead with a Mousa header from Grimaldo’s pass.
The goal brought peace and gave everything to Benfica. The 2-0 score comes from the heel of the boy Antonio Silva, assisted by Chiquinho, also with a heel. The canary’s defense was too gentle to stop the eagle’s pecking. Despite this, in a shade of pride, the canaries were again close to the goal, but Musa on the goal line cut off Erison’s header, which caused the ball to hit the iron and go far. .
And even before the break, center António Silva made it 3-0, this time adjusting for the far post from a Florentino Luis header.
At the extra stage, the game was one-sided. In other words, Pedro Silva’s goal. Dangerous shots followed. Mousa issued a caution by hitting the base of the Canariña goalpost, but it was João Mário who moved the marker after a pass from David Neres.
Enrique Araujo still smelled the goal and even saw how VAR disallowed him due to offside from Florentino Luis. But it was Ristic, with a bomb from outside the area, to make it 5-0. Serginho brought the Estoril down with a sigh of pride. The two teams will meet again this Wednesday in the Portuguese Cup.
