SL Benfica 6 - 0 Maritimo - November 19, 2016



Saturday November 19, 2016 -   SL Benfica defeated Maritimo in a Portuguese Cup match 6-0. This was an impressive result by the Eagles who just had several players return from an international break. Cervi (2"), Pizzi (39"), Mitroglou (44", 53"), Raul (69"), Guedes (88") all contribute to Benfica's dominant performance at the Luz. No word yet on Benfica's next opponent in the Portuguese Cup but Benfica's next match will be Match day #5 in the UEFA Champions League away to Besiktas in Turkey. A win in Turkey will gain Benfica 10 points and most likely put Benfica in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
