Benfica scores to take an early lead... and is now close to overtaking Sporting for the third place spot.
In a thrilling encounter between Benfica and Alverca, Bosnian right-back Amar Dedic scored his first goal for Benfica, increasing their lead to 2-0. The goal, assisted by Richard Ríos, came after nearly two years without scoring for Dedic.
The match, which took place on Sunday, saw Benfica and Sporting tie at the top of the league with nine points each. Amar Dedic was associated with two distinct moments of the match, scoring a goal and being sent off in the second half for a foul on Chiquinho, receiving his first career red card.
Alverca struggled to build attacks due to Benfica's high pressure, with Custódio Castro's formation having another chance for Alverca, but Mateus Oliveira saved the shot. Portuguese midfielder Chiquinho had a chance for Alverca, but his shot was saved by Samuel Soares.
Andreas Schjelderup scored his first goal of the season for Benfica, while Davy Gui scored the first goal conceded by Benfica this season at the 85th minute. Gui's goal reignited Alverca's hopes, but they were unable to equalize.
Benfica left Alverca with no goals, winning the match 1-2. Despite the victory, Benfica is fourth in the league standings, with Sporting sitting third. Alverca, on the other hand, remains 15th in the league standings with one point.
Unfortunately, the search results do not provide information on which player scored Benfica's first goal in the match against Alverca. Nevertheless, Amar Dedic's debut goal for Benfica will undoubtedly be remembered as a highlight of the match.
