The football season in Portugal opened on Wednesday evening with a boiling clash in the Supercup between Benfica Lisbon and FC Porto. A poster won by the Lisbon Eagles (2-0) thanks to second-half goals from Argentinian Angel Di Maria (61st) and Croatian Petar Musa (68th). This new face-to-face will help strengthen the rivalry between these two giants of Portuguese football as 14 cards, including two red ones, have been distributed!
The FC Porto team, reduced to ten players after the expulsion of Pepe, almost closed the gap, a few minutes from the end of the match (90th), but the goal of the Brazilian striker Galeno was finally refused in an electric atmosphere. The very end of the match was marked by the expulsion of Sergio Conceição in the wake of that of his player except that the coach of the Dragões refused to leave the lawn for several minutes, creating total confusion on the field. The game finally ended after 15 minutes of stoppage time.
