Missed the last few games and will miss the game on Wednesday vs Santa Clara. We have a game on Sunday next week versus Feirense that I will watch. So far we are second with 17 points from 8 games ( w 5 D 2 L 1). The only defeat so far vs Leixões.
Benfica B vs Santa Clara (on now) Onze inicial: Theirry Graça, João Amorim, Pedro Rebocho, Marcos Valente, Hélder Costa, Ruben Pinto, Gonçalo Guedes, Rui Fonte, Nuno Santos, Victor Lindelof e Nelson Semedo.
Golo Rui Fonte (who looks good and scores most of the times I see him), from a excellent through ball from Ruben Pinto which Pedro Rebocho efficiently squares into the box.
Hélder with a bad miss after good work by Semedo et al, '78. António scores and equalises shortly after for Santa Clara.
SLB B 1 Santa Clara 1 FT Benfica rue the Hélder/Guedes/Nuno Santos missed opportunities. Joã0 Teixeira not in the squad, guessing he is injured. Hélder/Guedes accumulating a good understanding.
Yes. Suplentes - Rafael Lopes, Victor Andrade, Dawidowicz, João Nunes, Fábio Cardoso, Rochinha e Dolly Menga. Dawidowicz and Menga came off the bench.
Not on the B team yet but finally watched Hugo Neto play for the jrs and the boy can play, we might have a star forward in the making.

Hélder earns a penalty which Fonte puts away '42 but the Beira-Mar players does not get a second yellow and stays on the field of play. '46 Lindelöf stumbles over and concedes a penalty which is converted, the difference being Lindelöf gets his second yellow and is sent off. SLB 1 BM 1 HT.

GD Chaves vs SLB B Onze inicial: Bruno Varela; Pedro Rebocho, Fábio Cardoso, Hélder Costa, Ruben Pinto, Gonçalo Guedes, Rui Fonte, Victor Lindelof, Nelson Semedo, Dolly Menga e João Teixeira.
GD Chaves 0 SLB B 0 FT. Arnold should of scored for Chaves '90. Varela fouled Vieira in extra time and so it should of been a red card and penalty for Chaves. Teixeira had a bad first game as starter after a month out. Semedo is improving at RB. Guedes had a good game.
Semedo shouldn't be playing rb and its expected Teixeira will be rusty for a few games, as for Guedes, he looked lost at times good performance though. Dolly manga lol he's junk.
Semedo next to Teixeira (MD) would be much better but that looks unlikely to change as Pinto/Amorim are preferred, players that many Benfica supporters think are average at best. Menga besides not doing much looks overweight (though he might not be). Guzzo had a above average game too for Chaves (loan from Benfica). Lindelof played well too.
CD Aves - SLB B 11 initial: Bruno Varela; Nelson Semedo, João Nunes, Marcos Valente e Pedro Rebocho; Victor Lindelof, João Teixeira e Ruben Pinto; Gonçalo Guedes, Rui Fonte e Hélder Costa.
