7 minutes: Great opportunity for Sporting! Excellent pass from Isnaba Mané to Youssef Chermiti, the leonine striker, already in the small area, tries the shot, but André Gomes, with a slight deflection, gives another corner to the lions.
8 minutes: Great opportunity for Sporting! Right corner hit by Isnaba Mané and Youssef Chermiti (again!) on the verge of scoring, but a providential cut by Franculino Djú, practically on the line, prevents the first goal of the afternoon in Alcochete.

17 minutes: Great opportunity for Benfica! João Neves, at the entrance of the small area, dropped to the right side, shoots in a cross, making the ball go over the right post of Francisco Silva’s goal. And Franculino Djú didn’t get the detour by millimeters…
