We have shown we CANNOT sit back and defend this lead. We have to keep pressing them to get a third. Sitting back would be just inviting them onto us.
lol benfica using the westbrook defense against Esgaio - let him dribble in the box all he wants and give him a free shot to the sky, quickest way to get the ball back
We held on, but an away goal is a bit painful to give up. But glad we got the win to take to the next leg
Win against our rivals is always great and I believe we can get to the final. They also have an away game at Porto in 3 days. But my prediction almost came true, it feels like we could have had a more comfortable win.
Starting XIs vs Benfica We hold a 2-1 advantage from the first leg BENFICA: Trubin; Bah, António Silva, Otamendi, Aursnes; Florentino, João Neves; Di María, Rafa, Neres; Tengsdedt SPORTING: Franco Israel; Diomande, Coates, Gonçalo Inácio; Esgaio, Hjulmand, Daniel Bragança, Nuno Santos; Trincão, Paulinho, Gyökeres
Benfica strong start, they look motivated and we're against the ropes. The 3 creative players behind the striker are causing all sorts of problems and they could have scored
0-0 half time. That wasn't pretty. Continue to insist with the likes of Esgaio and Paulinho also useless today.
What a goal!! What a way to start the 2nd half. Hjulmand with the finesse outside the box. Assisted by Gyokeres and started by Geny who did more in 2 minutes than Esgaio
It's all happening now Otamendi ties it right after, and now Paulinho scores again and restores our 2 goal advantage
Watched it on a phone propped up against a glass on a dodgey stream in the pub, but convinced my two mates why we're the good guys and we all ********ing loved it. Perfect Easter
Heard it was outside the box. And red card was harsh. Liga gifted Porto 3rd place with robberies against Boavista and Braga. So naturally, they had to give them something else.
They're tearing us apart on the right. Francisco Conceição and Pepê are causing Nuno Santos and Inacio a big headache
Fábio Veríssimo reverte o penálti mas mantém o vermelho a St. Juste!#TaçadePortugal #FCPSCPpic.twitter.com/EYcPEat2AB— VSPORTS (@vsports_pt) May 26, 2024 Thoughts?
Clear handball on Porto not called. Verissimo just taking orders from the league. Absolutely shambolic performance by the refs. Let's see if Amorim and Varandas say anything about it
Don't worry goal line tech is coming soon... What about this? No pk? Penalty descarado!!!A despedida em grande para o corrupto-mor. pic.twitter.com/Gh5rFjr7yP— Pedro, Alegadamente (@Jangmeister) May 26, 2024 pic.twitter.com/69Ph5oeeH5— João (@spzl1906) May 26, 2024
Is what it is. I hope there’s a plan in place to sell st Juste. No room for part time players on a squad this thin.
