Benfica, the current junior national champion and the leader of the southern region, lost away to Alverca 7-3.
In 6 minutes, Ribatejo’s team was already winning 2-0, with goals from Jaime Jr. and David Polito. Shortly after half an hour of play, Mario Todos reduced the Reds, who shortly after missed a penalty that would have awarded a draw.
More effective than the 11-meter mark was Alverca, who arrived from a penalty kick 3-1 (Iwandro), the result of which the match ended at the end of the first half.
The second half practically opened, and Gustavo Varela returned to shorten the distances. Soon after, Mario Todos was sent off for accumulating yellow cards and leaving the Eagles reduced to ten.
Benfica equalized with a penalty kick by Gustavo Varela in the 66th minute, but then Alverca scored four goals without a response.
In the 73rd minute, again from the 11-meter mark, Ewandro scored two goals, putting Ribatejo back in front of the mark.
In the 77th minute, Ivan Lima was also sent off and Benfica started with a nine, a situation that led to the uneven score that occurred.
In the 87th minute, Pedro Pato extended the score to 5-3, Duarte Carrera signed to sixth place at 90 + 4 m and a minute later Jannicson set the final score at 73 in favor of Alverca, who is still in second place with 30 points, two points behind. More than leaders Benfica and three more than Sporting, who have a match less.
