Primeira Liga (Portugal)

[Andresito]

Yesterday Benfica played against Belenenses hit by a covid outbreak.

Belenenses started the game with 9 players, one of the outfield players were a GK and most were from the reserve team.

7-0 Benfica in the first half. In the second half only 7 Belenenses players came out, and as soon as the game started on of them sat down 'injured', thus forcing the ref to end the game.

Embarrassing for the league.

Heard about this, indeed embarrasing

Yeah, read that as well. Belenenses should have called some youngsters if rules allow it, I don't know. Otherwise the game should have been postponed, playing 9 vs. 11 is a circus.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Belenenses wanted to play the game. They did not ask league officials or anyone about postponing the game or other solutions.

Yeah and they technically played in the second half, even if it was just the kickoff, meaning they won't have to refund the fans. Definitely some thought behind that.

Sporting with an early goal against Benfica, great derby in first 15 minutes.

Good good. Makes them doubt the game vs Kiev.
