Diário Digital Castelo Branco – Portugal Cup: Benfica and Castelo Branco lose to Penafiel at home 1-2
In an initial match 15 minutes were completely dominated by Penafiel, who pushed the Albicastrenses to their area, from then on, Benfica Castelo Branco managed to react and balance the match more.
The II Liga team, without doing much for it, found themselves in advantage in the scoreboard in the 26th minute, with an own goal on Sunday, in a play in which the goalkeeper of Albicastrenses was injured and which caused a stoppage of almost five minutes .
With the resumption of the match, Penafiel started to control the match and the advantage on the scoreboard, and the Portuguese Championship team still managed to create danger with Penafiel’s nets, in the 20th minute, in a counterattack move.
In the second half, the home team came ready to change the course of the game, putting more aggressiveness and speed in the game, but without great practical results, since Penafiel, despite the slowness shown in Vale do Romeiro, almost always kept the control of the game, increasing to 79, by Capela.
Benfica Castelo Branco’s men never lowered their arms and tried by all means to reach the goal, which they achieved near the end of the match, with Obi scoring the goal of honor, in the 88th minute.
The Albicastrense team ‘was reborn’ in the last moments of the match and literally pushed Penafiel’s men to their area, but they could no longer take the match, at least to extra time.
