Benfica beat Marítimo (1-0) and returned to 3 points from FC Porto, 2nd place. The reds scored in the first part, from penalty, by Waldschmidt, and wasted two flagrant occasions to expand in the second half.
“What matters is the three points. Benfica controlled the game, but missed many opportunities, which cannot fail. There is a lack of concentration in front of the goalkeeper. The fight for 2nd place is on and you have to believe it to the end to guarantee access to the Champions. ”
João Manuel Pinto, former player
“It was a complicated game, because there were many failures. In the first half I already saw a Benfica in the image of Jorge Jesus, but the result was short. Benfica could have done more in the second half. Only second place is possible and you have to fight for it. ”
António Manuel Ribeiro, musician
“Depressing. Benfica is not a candidate for the title, it is only a candidate for European competitions. Jorge Jesus can only draw two conclusions with this season: either he is a cheap guy, because he said that Benfica would play triple, or he is incompetent and should resign. ”
Jorge Corrula, actor
