It was at full speed that Benfica wanted to close the year 2020. In the last game of this calendar year, against Portimonense, the team coached by Jorge Jesús entered with a very strong dynamic, with great speed, and looking for the goal from a very young age . .

The Algarve team was in difficulties from the first minutes and at 13 ‘Benfica confirmed their superiority. Luz’s team took the lead after a beautiful Rafa, which combined with Waldschmidt and assisted Darwin for the 1-0 of Eagles. Nothing better than an early goal, after the defeat against FC Porto in Super Cup.

Benfica scored early, but did not want to stop. Portimonense was still unable to go out to play, largely because of the Reds, who extended the lead at 23. After the attendance, it was time to Rafa Brand. The winger’s inspiration was evident throughout the match and after a beautiful play by the Eagles, with a little help from the Portimonense defense, the second goal was born.

Paulo Sérgio’s team tried to react, but almost always without great acuteancia. Only set pieces Possignolo I tried to scare Odysseas. But it didn’t even hit the mark. Portimonense was being easy prey for the Eagle.

In the second half, the Portimão team coach’s speech took effect and there was another Portimonense on the field. With more ball, with more preponderateancia offensive, the Algarve formation tried to do for life. However, the goal of Odysseas I never looked seriously threatened … even closer to the end of the game. On the other hand, without much effort, Benfica came close to scoring one more before 60 minutes. Darwin could have doubled, but the post denied him the goal.

Although they still have some opportunities, Eagles they were not at the height of the first half and even ‘fell asleep’ already very close to the final whistle. Jorge Jesus preferred a more organized team defensively That a balanced team for the attack, but the truth is that in the end Benfica broke down and ended up still suffering. In compensation, Gilberto’s own goal lowered Portimonense’s handicap and put the final score at 2-1.
