Salzburg had an always complicated visit to the Estadio da Luz against a Benfica that with each passing season becomes a more complicated rival and got more prizes than it probably deserved (0-2).
In an absolutely crazy start to the game, things were almost decided. In the 15′ minute the Austrian team already got two penalties, the first missed by Konaté, who threw it wide, and the second by Simic (15′). But that wasn’t the worst, but the game that preceded that offense that ended with Antonio Silva being sent off. Joao Mario just hit the post with a shot from inside the area and in the ensuing counterattack disaster ensued. Dedic fouled the goalkeeper, Trubin stopped Konaté’s shot and, on the line, Silva made the mistake of taking it with his head and he resorted to doing it with his hand. Light direct red.
The game went up for Benfica soon, but instead of giving up, they went up. Led by an impressive Di María, it was a miracle that the game reached half time without any goals from the Lisbon team. The Argentine tried it in every possible way, including a direct corner, but Schlager was not willing to lose the battle.
In fact, if Salzburg won it was thanks to their goalkeeper. If he made Di María’s existence miserable in the first half, he did so in the second with the equally amazing Musa. Because Benfica played, dominated and had more chances than their rival, however, took advantage of another steal from the local defense to seal the match with the goal of Gloukh, a gift from Simic (51′).
Benfica finished the game in the same way. Stepping into the rival field, looking for a goal and with a destructive attitude. If this is the plan, very positive things await him in the next few games.
