To remember the last game the club Associação Académica de Coimbra lost at home, we need to go back almost a year, and that defeat was precisely against SLB. So the team knew that it wouldn’t be an easy game, although Benfica has no defeats here in the last 35 years. Some alterations were made in the team and David Luiz appeared at the left side of the defense, while Binya and Ruben occupied the midfield. Also Cardozo initiated the game.
The game was being difficult and Benfica, couldn’t find someone more creative to resolve it. The “students” could have scored, but they didn’t and a bit later Ruben Amorim after a tremendous pass from Nuno Gomes scored. Quique spoke, about Ruben before this game and the good things he told had a positive effect on the player.
At the beginning of the second half the Benfica scored the second goal, on a penalty kick converted by Cardozo. Reyes was one of the best in the field and Suazo jumped from the bench and almost scored another goal for the team.
