Rough start for the Lisbon clubs this weekend, as both Benfica and Sporting lost their opening games. Their north rivals Porto and Braga both won their games.
Benfica is a mess right now, Roberto is a flop, and the defense is just playing awful right now.
It has to be said that Benfica did control the game, but the result is all that matters.
Benfica needs enforcements right now, maybe Manuel Jose and Bruno Gama, though I have doubts that Benfica scouts watch Portuguese players.
Sporting lost to Passos, it is very difficult to play there, and the big three usually drop points there, but I was impressed with this team, some good players and a good coach.
David Simao, Caetano, and Manuel Jose deserve to play for bigger clubs.
Porto won their game against Naval with a Hulk goal at the 80th minute.
Not including the Benfica loss, it was a good weekend for Portuguese soccer, as there were some good games played. Braga, Rio Ave, Nacional, and Passos de Ferreira all played great this weekend. I am hoping they keep this up.
