From 0-2… 2-2 in 74 ‘and in 80’ and “goodbye” championship for Benfica!

Case for two -if- will remain the claim of this year’s championship in Portugal!

For Benfica, things were anyway extremely difficult, as the “eagles”, before their away game with Boavista on Friday (18/02) for the 23rd game, were at -10 from the champion Porto and at -3 from the second Sporting Lisbon. The “dragons” show unstoppablewith the “lions” trying to stay as close as possible at the top, which, now, Benfica sees with binoculars!

His team Nelson Verizimo led 2-0 in the first half, with Taarabt and Grimaldo scoring, and generally showing control absolutely condition. Within seven minutes, however, in the second 45 minutes, the “eagles”… they were crushed!

The hosts in the 74th minute reduced with Afonso, while six minutes later Makuta found the equalizer, with 2-2 to be maintained until the last whistle. Benfica, it seems, will stay without a crown for the third year in a row (after the conquests of Porto and Sporting), while the battle for second placewhich gives the direct “Ticket” for the Champions League.
