Benfica B beat Oliveirense 2-0, in a game counting for round 13 of League 2.
The Reds started very well and very boldly. At 21′, João Rego isolated Trevisan, but the goalkeeper managed to avoid greater harm. João Veloso’s reload did not lead to the goal.
Benfica, facing an Oliveirense team with many difficulties, took advantage to create danger: in the 32nd minute, João Rego shot, but the Oliveirense goalkeeper was alert. The goal came next, by Joshua Wynder. Corner taken in the 41st minute and the central defender rose higher, opening the scoring.
Nelson Veríssimo’s team went into the break motivated, returned again with high motivation and scored again: João Veloso appeared on the edge of the area and shot to make it 2-0. Great entry from the reds.
With a two-goal lead, in the 55th minute, Benfica had the opportunity to manage the game. The ball always belonged to the Reds, and Oliveirense had a lot of difficulty scaring Diogo Ferreira, the Reds goalkeeper.
João Rego and Gonçalo Oliveira were starters, after yesterday being on the bench in the derby against Sporting, at Estádio da Luz. José Neto, under-17 champion on the 27th, now made his debut for team B, coming on in the 61st minute to replace Tiago Parente.
Benfica B, with this victory (the first in the last four games in League 2), has 14 points and is (for now) out of the water, despite the fact that their direct opponents have not yet played. Oliveirense maintains its 15 points and is, with the round still incomplete, in 10th place.
In the next round, Benfica B visits Marítimo, while Oliveirense hosts Chaves.
