Benfica vs Paços De Ferreira Match Report
Benfica came out deserved 2-0 winners against Paços de Ferreira at the Estadio da Luz on Friday night, but the visitors deserve credit for playing their part in a highly entertaining contest.Indeed, Benfica’s Roberto was the first goalkeeper called into action as he saved from Rondon and Maykon early on. Saviola then missed a golden chance to put the hosts ahead.
But in the 14th minute Pablo Aimar rolled back the years to score a sublime goal. Picking the ball up in his own half, the diminutive Argentine embarked on a Maradona-esque run past a host of defenders, which culminated in an unerring finish into the net from the edge of the box.
Saviola and Fabio Coentrao threatened to double Benfica’s lead, but Paços continued to play good football, and Roberto made two more excellent saves from Nuno Santos and Rondon to keep Jorge Jesus’ side ahead. Kardec made the game safe in the 65th minute from the penalty spot after Coentrao had been brought down in the box.
