Second round surprise: Benfica wins over Caxinas – Futsal

The Eagles were leading 2-0, but lost the lead within four minutes

A surprise in Vila do Conde when Super Cup winner Benfica lost to Caxinas 3-2 and wasted a two-goal lead. In four minutes, Mario Silva’s side went from heaven to hell and ended up suffering their first defeat of the tournament and first ever to Kaxinas in six matches.

Before the opening whistle, Ricardinho (Caxinas) and Lucio (Benfica) were honored for winning the European Under-19 Championship title. And then there was the red party. Cishkala scored in the first minute, and the Eagles continued their control until the end of the first half, although they were unable to overcome the opposition of goalkeeper Thiago Sacramento again. The most dangerous move by Kaxinas in this period came from the feet of Renan Fozo in the 17th minute, as the ball hit the crossbar. The beginning of the second half came with the same pretext, as Benfica took the lead and scored the second goal again through Cechkala. In the 32nd minute, Mario Silva scored five goals and scored the fifth foul and began to add less intensity to the duels. Kaxinas then adopted a five-on-four approach and Nuno Silva’s bet paid off. With the support of his fans, Caxinas succeeded in achieving victory with goals from Marcio Moreira (36), Fuso (38), and Francisco Oliveira (39).
