Carlos Vinícius opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, a lead that the home team thought it would be easier to complete, especially against Belenenses, who are third to last in the standings.

That's why there wasn't much alarm when Taarabt scored Benfica's second goal in the 38th minute, thus marking his first goal for the "eagles".

But Licá came to show that Belenenses was going to put up a fight, scoring a goal in the 70th minute, something that Chiquinho didn't worry too much about with his goal eight minutes later.

Licá put pressure again in the 87th minute after scoring a penalty that showed, in addition to the danger posed by the visitors, the nerves felt among the Benfica players.
