The Women’s Supercup final delivered a tough blow. Benfica faced Torreense, and the match ended with a 2-1 defeat for Benfica. Losses always sting, but the aftermath of this particular game brought an unexpected moment of tension into the spotlight.
During the medal ceremony, things took an interesting turn. Fernando Tavares, Benfica’s vice-president, came face-to-face with José Pereira da Costa, who serves as the club’s General Assembly president. What should have been a routine greeting turned into something more.
Tavares’s dissatisfaction was clear to anyone watching. He was visibly unhappy, making his feelings known during their handshake. The exact reason for this strong reaction isn’t known. However, it was evident he was reacting to something that had happened earlier that afternoon in Estoril. He left no doubt about his discontent as he exchanged pleasantries with the club official.
A short video shared online captured this brief, tense exchange. It gave onlookers a glimpse into the raw emotions simmering beneath the surface after such a high-stakes match.
