Match Stats

Boavista's early-season woes continued last Monday as they drew 2-2 with Estrela Amadora, surrendering their lead twice at the Estadio Jose Gomes. Bruno Onyemaechj and Ilija Voktic scored to put Boavista ahead, but Estrela equalized with goals from Kikas and former Manchester United winger Luis Nani, leaving both teams to settle for a point.

After finishing 15th last season, Boavista started this campaign promisingly with a 1-0 win over Casa Pia on August 10. However, they have since managed just two points from their next four matches, which has brought them back down to reality. Following the draw against Estrela, Cristiano Bacci's team has now gone winless in 13 of their last 14 Primeira Liga games, with nine losses and four draws, the only victory being the narrow one against Casa Pia.

On the other hand, Benfica enjoyed a strong start to their 2024-25 Champions League campaign, securing a 2-1 victory against Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade on Thursday. Goals from Kerem Akturkoglu and fellow Turkish international Orkun Kokcu gave them a first-half lead before Milson pulled one back for Red Star in the 86th minute.

In the Primeira Liga, As Águias have bounced back impressively since losing to Famalicao on opening day, claiming three wins and one draw in their next four matches. Their most recent league performance saw them come from behind to defeat Santa Clara 4-1, with contributions from Akturkoglu, Florentino Luis, Antonio Silva, and Angel Di Maria.
