Liga Zon-Sagres results: Benfica 3-0 Vit.Setúbal

Pathologies apparently cured. The first, the lack of wins in league games.
The second, the Roberto's willingness to be a protagonist for the worst reasons. Tonight, in addition to the goals from Cardozo, Aimar and Luisão, particularly the penalty sought by the Spanish.

Benfica won the Vit. Setubal (3-0) this Saturday in game of 3rd Matchday of the League Zon Sagres and achieved their first win of the season, after three oficial games.

Jorge Jesus has processed some changes to the team after the defeat of last week, in front of Nacional Madeira.
Roberto did sit on the bench and engaged in Julio Cesar from start, as also gave the holdership to Salvio, on the right of midfield.

The entry of the Portuguese national champions in the field couldn't have had better start, as early as 4' , Cardozo provided the best response to a cross of Gaitán and beated Diego.

With the passage of the 20' , a move occurred which changed the fate of the game and may have influenced the future of Spanish Roberto: A miscalculated delay from Maxi Pereira to Julio Cesar forced the Brazilian to commit a penalty on Sassá and be expelled.
The Spanish keeper came on the game and defended the penalty hited by Hugo Leal.

With the elan of a positive tonic, Benfica, reduced to 10 units, not disarmed and scored the second goal before the break: Aimar's corner-kick and nod of Luisão (44 ') for the 2-0.

In 2nd Half, Manuel Fernandes kept the same strategy of three defenders supported by two siders, but it was Benfica who continued to bear...
So that at 57' , a perfect combination between Coentrão and Gaitán allowed the Argentine to cross to his compatriot Aimar, that beated Diego for the third and final time at the meeting in the Light Stadium.

With this result, Benfica scored their first three championship points and equaled rivals Sporting in 7th place. The V. Setubal, with four points, are right up in 5th place.
