With Marco Silva attentive, Benfica B beats Felgueiras and rises the fifth

O Benfica B won at home today Felgueiras by 1-0, in the match that ended the seventh day of the II Football League and that was decided with a goal in the first part, in Seixal.

With more possession of ball and danger in the first part, the Benfiquists materialized superiority over the opponent with the goal scored by Anísio Cabral, at 33 minutes, following a quick attack in which Gonçalo Moreira watched the colleague.

At a disadvantage on the marker, Felgueiras' life became even more complicated at 43 minutes, when it was reduced to 10 elements due to the expulsion of Tiago Ventura, due to a hard fault committed on Rafael Quintas.

To mitigate the effects of playing with less than one man on the field, coach Moreno launched Filipe Cruz to the place of Henry Martins at the beginning of the second half. The ‘guides’ responded with the entrances of the attackers Francisco Neto, Francisco Silva and Edokpolor to the passage of the game time.

Three minutes after entering, Nigerian Edokpolor won a ball inside the area and only did not expand the advantage in the marker due to the attentive defense of Matthew Pasinato, who, at 68, saw a shot of Francisco Neto passing near his goal.

Even with less one player, Felgueiras has become more objective in the pursuit of the tie goal and the best opportunity to tie has emerged in Michel Costa's head.

The player Felguerense entered the field at 64 minutes and, at 71, only did not restore equality because Diogo Ferreira prevented him with a defense that held the three points for the benfiquists.

With the victory, Benfica B, which added the second consecutive success, is now ranked fifth, with 13 points, while Felgueiras – with three consecutive defeats – is 14, with six.
