A benfica’s women’s team began with a ‘strondo’ his walk in the League Cup, with a first journey that ended with a win-win in the visit to Sporting Braga, with a final result of 0-6, which was built with similar parts in what the division of goals scored concerns.
The group led by Ivan Baptista, who has only one defeat in the current season – before Bayern Munich, 0-3, in the Stadium of Light – ends up decimating this team with some ease, in the first part that began to carburize in the Bracarense goal from the 24th minute.
At that time, the Norwegian advanced Froya Brennskag-Dorsin shot to count to inaugurate the marker at the meeting, after an assistance from young Carolina Tristan, who is still only 17 years old and already stands out in the current national women's soccer champion.
Now, not six minutes later and one more goal was shouted at Stadium 1st of May, since Caroline-Sophie Moller doubled the advantage of the incarnates, before, at 42 minutes, Nycole Raysla shot another shot, after a great penalty committed by the players of Sporting Braga.
The second half eventually began impetuously, with Benfica making two more goals in the first four minutes after the resorts returned. First by Lucia Alves and then again by Caroline-Sophie Moller, who enjoyed the match.
Diana Costa left the bench of alternates to close the accounts, already in the minute 90+3, in 0-6, with a half dozen clean shots without response to give the first three points to the incarnates in this competition.
With this result, the Benfica team rises to the first place of group A of the Women's League Cup, which is composed by FC Porto, Racing Power, Sporting Braga and also Torreense and that also sees the blue and white class in equal points with the eagles.

Maria Ferreira was one of the best in the field, with two assists in the first part, serving Lana Golob at 14 minutes for the first straight shot of the meeting, before watching Maria Negrão at 26 minutes, increasing the margin for two goals of difference, before the interval.
After going to the locker rooms, the house team went out more invested in the search to fight for the result, having even marked a great penalty, shortly after the game time mark, through Pamela González.
