The air hummed with eager shouts at Pavilhão Fidelidade. Fans filled nearly every seat, ready for a show. They got one. Benfica, a team that seems to taste only victory in the Liga Placard, delivered an absolute masterclass. They hammered Quinta dos Lombos with an 8-0 win, keeping their perfect record.
The crowd barely had time to settle before the net bulged. Arthur, a whirlwind on the wing, danced past Gabi Vidal. He then simply laid the ball off for Higor, who tapped in the first goal after just one minute. What a start! That early strike set the tone for an electrifying morning for Benfica, especially for their talented Brazilian crew. Higor, the pivot, seemed to have a magnet on his boots. He kept finding the back of the net, bagging a remarkable five goals by the end. Arthur, the assist king, was always in the thick of it, setting up a whopping six goals himself.
The goals just kept coming. Silvestre added another in the 30th minute. Kutchy found his moment three minutes later, and Jacaré sealed the deal in the 35th minute. This was Benfica’s fourth win in a row. Quinta dos Lombos struggled to keep up. They offered little challenge, and this game marked their third loss in the league.
Coach Cassiano Klein kept it simple after the final whistle. He often talks about the team’s collective strength. “If we achieved anything last season,” he explained, “it was because the team was very strong.” That teamwork clearly shines through in their play.
This latest victory means Benfica now sits at the top with 12 points, tied with their rivals, Sporting. And guess what’s next on the schedule? A massive derby clash at Luz. With both teams perfectly matched on points, that game promises to be an absolute firecracker.
