The lions took a giant step towards victory in the championship, thanks to a dream night from a young man who had reasons to cry… with joy.
Sporting highlight: Geny Catamo (grade 5)
22 Games 5 goals
One goal to open and another to close, this one of great quality, with a shot placed, with his right foot, after stopping with his chest. What more could you ask for from the Mozambican international, who paved the way for the title and definitively launched the lion to win the championship? It’s true that between one goal and the other he defined some plays badly, like in the 48th minute, but there on the right he gave enormous offensive dimension, appearing several times in the Red area to unbalance. It’s one of those games that stays in your memory forever.
Israel 4
5J 5GS
Determined in his exits and bold in his crosses, he secured the draw in the 81st minute, with a providential intervention, shot by Di María. Before, at 39′, he had blocked Otamendi’s shot.
St. Just 3
8J 0G
An excused foul, which resulted in Benfica’s goal, did not tarnish the central defender’s performance. Physically strong, he rose to the attack with precision.
Coates 4
22J 4G
Two providential cuts, at 65′ (this one with Israel beaten), and 69′ were the highlights of a high-level performance. He could have scored to close the 1st half, but he hit the ball poorly. He even tried a bicycle kick in the 2nd.
Gonçalo Inácio 3
25J 1G
First half at a good level, nullifying several of the Reds’ offensive initiatives.
Wheelman 4
25J 3G
Giant recovering, imposing himself in duels, but also creating good passing solutions. He left after an entry that could have cost him expulsion.
Morita 3
22J 2G
Very useful in defending, he crossed for Gyökeres’ header in the 48th minute. He left when more was needed than that.
Matheus Reis 3
25D 0G
He forgot about Bah during Benfica’s goal. Otherwise, he was a regular on the left flank.
Trincao 3
24J 6G
He sought a lot of central space, joining Gyökeres and opening spaces for Catamo. He almost didn’t arrive in time to deflect a Gyökeres center in the 35th minute. He took the attacking initiative in the 2nd, leaving exhausted.
Bring 3
25J 9G
Influential in the 1st half, recovering and building the 1-0 lead. Between the attack and supporting the midfield, he even offered a goal to Coates before the break. Returning from injury, he lost his role in the 2nd half.
Root 4
26J 22G
The strength of this Swede is impressive. He didn’t give the Benfica central defenders any rest. He offered a goal to Trincão (25′), headed for Trubin’s save, at 48′, and shot the post, at 52′.
Daniel Bragança 3
21J 3G
Replacing Morita, he guaranteed ball control and added offensive dimension. He only didn’t score because he hit the ball poorly, in the 88th minute, following a corner that he won.
Diomande 3
21J 1G
Important cut, annulling an action by Marcos Leonardo.
Edwards 3
22J 4G
The game sped up and the center left his foot and ended up with the 2nd goal.
Koindredi 1
2J 0G
Loss of ball that didn’t result in a goal because Israel defended. He suffered the lack of Aursnes’ expulsion.
Paulinho 2
24J 12G
It bothered.
