Benfica FC

On Wednesday Benfica played a midweek game against Moreirense for the Portugal Cup. Again, and against a much weaker opponent, Benfica showed lots of problems to ultimately get the win at home against a Division Two opponent.

Benfica won 2 to 0, with the goals coming in the second half of the game, after Camacho put in some regular starters. Rui Costa, coming off the bench scored the first goal, while Makukula, scored the second goal, as the game was ending.

Against such a weak team, Benfica revealed the same problems that we have witness all season long with Camacho. Granted for this game some of the regulars were out, Benfica should have still blow away a club from Division Two soccer. 

Freddy Adu got a very rare start, and had a chance to show his stuff, but was rather inconsequential during the 55 minutes he was on the field. He would be substituted by Makukula.

With this win Benfica advances to the final four of Portugal Cup play. Next Sunday Benfica will play at Sporting in the biggest Portuguese soccer derby.
