Sporting vs Benfica Result 0 - 0

Classic Sporting vs Benfica, held on Saturday, finished tied with no goals, a slip of the reds that FC Porto on Sunday, took advantage of, by beating Rio Ave(2-1).

The outcome of Alvalade meeting (0-0) put Benfica only two points over FC Porto

Sporting is now sixth with 15 points, as Rio Ave.



According on what happened inside the field, and the league table, this result turns out to not be all bad for Benfica.

Benfica went strangely nervous on the game and never managed to impose that game that has become customary with pressure and ball possession.

Some players who have long been at mouth of fans came aside of the game, cases of Saviola and Aimar.
Positively stood out Di Maria and Ramires, this one at least while it physically lasted .No doubt it were these players who had paced Benfica attack and created Benfica most dangerous moves.

Sporting proved that has an eleven not much lower than benfica, wasting a great opportunity to relaunch his fight for the title (or as much CL).
As Jorje Jesus well said, this tie should have thrown the lions out of race for the championship. It would take that Braga, Porto and Benfica to lose many but many points.


The bus carrying Benfica team to the derby, was hited by some rocks and bottles on arrival at Alvalade stadium.
Fortunately, the incident did not result in any injury to any part of the 'red' entourage , but only in material damages to the vehicle.
