O Benfica was happy in the victory in front of Alverca on Monday night, to close with suffering the journey 10 of the I League, in a triumph by 1-0.
Pavlidis was the author of the goal that decided everything, but the game changed when Claudio Echeverri entered the field, conquering the great penalty that gave the Greek the opportunity to reach the age of goals in the season.
Matheus Mendes was almost insurmountable at the Alverca goal, with great interventions from the beginning until the end of the meeting.
However, there was a blacked out spotlight on Andreas Schjelderup, who was not up to what he's been doing with Benfica's sweater for the past few weeks.
But let's get to the game notes.
Figure
He went into the field with his Argentine magic to change the course of the game. I can't believe Benfica could have won this game without Claudio Echeverri, which completely changed creativity through the attack of the incarnated class and won the great penalty that decided the match.
Surprise
It was a game with a lot of goal at both ends of the terrain, but the networks protected by Matheus Mendes were almost ‘blessed’ by something divine. If it wasn't for Pavlidis' 11-meter goal, we could be talking about the man in the game.
In the retina there is even the monstrous defense at the beginning of the match, the shot made by the right side Alexander Bah, to which the Brazilian guardian reacted quickly to hold it and prevent the advantage of the eagles soon to open.
Disillusion
It was not a game well achieved by Andreas Schjelderup. The Norwegian advance was almost annulled by Alverca's defense and managed to do almost nothing to change the fate of Benfica's team. If it wasn't for that tunnel near the break and I would have missed the meeting.
Trainers
Marco Silva
It took a bit of genius for Benfica to get over a very well-organized Alverca, but it also suits the eagle trainer to recognize that his team was not up to what was expected, since they might have lost points at home.
Sergio Ferreira
It is always good when teams that are not favorite fight the so-called ‘big’, but this strategy of Alverca in the Stadium of Light shows that the competitiveness of the I League is growing, which is positive for the championship. It was a good image left by the Ribatejans.
Arbitration
Bruno Costa there were some interventions that were somewhat dubious, but in the essential moments of the match, it ended up being up to date, namely the marking of the great penalty and the out-of-game taken away from Yaya Badjong, even though in that intervention, the VAR took too long to verify that the defense of Alverca was in an irregular position.
