Benfica vs Vitoria Setubal Report

Tom Kundert, January 14 2012,
Benfica continued their sparkling form with a thumping 4-1 win at home to Vitória de Setúbal to remain two points clear at the top of the table in Portugal.
A huge crowd at the Estádio da Luz were treated to a highly entertaining night in Lisbon.

Neca's deflected shot in the 6th minute gave the visitors a shock lead, but quickly set about turning around the result.

Several chances had already been created and missed before Nolito equalised in the 24th minute.

A quickfire brace from Cardozo then put Benfica 3-1 up and well in charge as the players went into the interval.

Benfica continued to attack with menace in the second half and it was no surprise when Matic headed in goal number four from a well delivered Gaitán cross.

Having scored 17 goals in their last four matches, Benfica look like they will take some stopping this season.
