Mourinho and Benfica are on the rise. |
Until the 88th minute of the match at Nacional Stadium, Benfica seemed to be in a bad mood. Nacional, a team in the bottom half of the rankings, had a surprisingly good match.
The home team opened the scoring in the 60th minute thanks to Ramirez, who took full advantage of his opponent's mistakes. Conceding a shocking goal, Benfica fell into a passive position in the second half of the match.
In the last 10 minutes, Benfica pressed fiercely and reaped the rewards in the 88th minute, when young talent Gianluca Prestianni fired a shot from a tight angle to equalize 1-1.
Striker Pavlidis then sealed a spectacular victory for Benfica in the 90+5 minute, with a lightning-fast finish.

Outside the field, coach Mourinho could no longer keep his composure and celebrated wildly with his assistant.
A dramatic 2-1 away win over Nacional not only brought home three valuable points, but also marked Benfica's run of three consecutive wins.
This victory is the perfect mental medicine for Benfica after the harsh criticism from Mourinho recently. The three points earned from this match help "The Eagles" continue to stand in third place on the rankings with 28 points, equal to the second-placed team Sporting CP and 3 points behind the top team Porto.
Even though Benfica have played one more game than Sporting CP and Porto, their current impressive run of form shows that the club is back as a serious contender for the Portuguese title.
