Benfica moved into six numbers of city rivals who shone after winning a five-goal mystery at Estrela da Amadora tonight.
The Eagles looked slated for a win in the regime after poor protection opposed to the hosts allowed them to score two stated purposes in the first 10 minutes of Captain Nicolas Otamendi and a purpose of their own drama.
Estrela responded when right-back Diogo Travassos tried his luck from distance and a deflection by Otamendi took the ball past Trubin and into the corner of the net. Benfica nearly restored their two-goal lead, with Vangelis Pavlidis hitting an unsolicited shot into the net from 20 yards out.
Estrela refused to lie down and new signing Chico Banza ran an impressive start when Trubin completed and rolled the ball into the net to make it 3-2 early in the moment.
A nervous Bruno Lage Barking ordered as he did not hunt on his watch, and Arthur Cabral, perhaps betting his last game on a Benfica shirt, had the possibility of relieving the Benfica coach’s anxiety in the dying mins but lost a penalty.
Never did the mastermind, then, watch the game to record his first Primeira Liga win on the road since beating Nacional in Madeira in mid-December.
