Aguias led 3-0 at half-time but Barcelos staged an epic comeback
amazing! Gil Vicente surprised everyone and everything, beating Benfica 5-3 at the Seixal Stadium, in a game they were losing 3-0 in the 65th minute, and scoring five goals in less than half an hour!
The Eagles came out ready to settle things early and in the first minute Ivan Lima forced Gil Vicente's goalkeeper to save a corner kick, after which Joao Fonseca narrowly missed. The offensive play was great, and Goncalo Moreira, who opened the scoring in the fifth minute, scored two goals in the 14th minute from a direct free kick. The Barcelos team tried to respond, but was unable to create any danger, and Benfica took advantage of the opportunity to increase the difference this time through Keanu Silva, who took advantage of Daniel Silva's slippage after a false start.
At the end of the first half, Gil Vicente made two changes and the game was split, but the Reds still completely controlled it. However, within two minutes, everything changed: a cross came from the left towards the far post, and Miro rose and headed in a shot. Shortly after, after moving to the right, he scored again and left everything as it was. Benfica accused the goal of passivity, and Gil Vicente, the catalyst, was right at the top of the game, scoring three more goals and completing an epic Sixal turnaround.
