Benfica managed to beat Estrela de Amadora 2-0 on Saturday thanks to goals from Rafa and Tengstedt and thus paid, at home, for their stumble on the first day in the Portuguese League.
Benfica, who suffered a painful defeat against Boavista this past Monday (3-2), did not have it easy this time either, because it was only in the 79th minute that the Danish striker was able to score the first goal for ” Eagles”.
His teammate Rafa managed to widen the gap to Estrela with both goals in the 90+3 minutes.
With this result they were able to rise to the ninth qualifying position with 3 points. Boavista, who beat Portimonense 4-1 on Saturday, lead the table with 6 points. Sporting, who won against Casa Pia (1-2) on Friday, are second with the same score.
Vitória de Guimaraes is third, also with 6 points, while Porto is eleventh, awaiting their match today against Farense, scheduled for Sunday.
This Saturday, Vitória beat Gil Vicente (2-1) and Chaves lost to Braga (2-4).
Estoril Praia-Rio Ave and Vizela-Arouca are also scheduled on Sunday. The day will close with a match between Famalicão and Moreirense.
