Benfica won the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup 2025
Benfica is the big winner of Cândido Oliveira 2025 Super Cup. The formation of light hit Sporting 1-0, in a game far from brilliant in terms of football quality and very careful of preseason.
The “incarnates” eventually decided in the second part, in a “bomb” Pavlidis. The “lion” could not respond to this goal.
Let’s say it was not a bright first part. It is normal in the beginning games of the time not much intensity, but here was a little too much.
O Sporting closed and was dangerous in transitionshaving even marked by “pot” after five minutes, but the bid was annulled out of Harder’s output.
O Benfica had difficulty building And only to spaces, usually by Pavlidis, created danger. Little, very little.
The second part threatened to be more of the same, but in the 50th minute, in the fastest speed of the Benfiquista attack, the Leonina defense was dismantled, the ball left for Pavlidis at the entrance of the area and the Greek shot hard for 1-0with Rui Silva being bad in the photograph.
At 59 the same protagonists, this time with the Leonino Guardian to make a great save the striker’s shooting.
The entrances of reinforcements Kochorashvili e Luis Suárez They turned the game to the Leonine side, with Benfica not being able to wage the greatest mobility and reply of these players.
Lage answered with Prestianni and Florentino, the game rebelled and so was until the end, without further goals. THE Benfica won his tenth Super Cup.
