Protests and goal taken in recovery: José Mourinho already brakes on Benfica

Jose Mourinho’s Benfica fails to give continuity to the success achieved on Saturday at home to AVS and does not go beyond a draw with the not irresistible Rio Ave to the disappointment of the Special One, who as often happens to him had a beef with the referee’s referee.

The Encarnados seemed to have broken through, scoring a goal in the 86th minute.

And yet the Encarnados seemed to have broken through, going in on goal in the 86th minute with Sudakov: Lukebakio’s action on the right and an assist for the former Shakhtar Ukrainian who headed into the net from the center of the box, Petrasso deflected the ball deceiving Miszta, who had dived for a save.

When the most seemed to be done in full recovery, however, came the guest goal by André Luiz, who entered the area from the right and kicked around with his left, placing the ball out of Trubin’s reach for the final 1-1.

Benfica, which has not won in its own stadium for three games, misses out on overtaking Sporting and regaining the second place occupied by its fellow citizens. Leading the way, with full points, is Porto: 18 points for the whites-blue, 15 for the green-and-whites, who have won five out of six, but lost at home to the very current leaders, 14 for O’ Glorioso.
