Benfica beats Sporting 2-0

It was not a great game, but a win is a win.

To be honest, at this point Benfica will take any win they can get.
I liked watching this game, Benfica looked confident and played in a way that was somewhat close to last year.

Oscar Cardozo seems to be at peace with the Benfica fans, the same fans that were criticising him for his poor form in the beginning of the season. In the previous game, a Champions League match versus APOEL, Cardozo celebrated a goal by placing his finger in front of his mouth and directing it at the fans.

Fabio Coentrao is in fine form, he is easily our best player right now. Most of the running play comes from him.

Javi Garcia has also regained his rightful spot as the starter in the defensive midfield. He is one of the best holding midfielders in Europe. No, I did not mean Portugal, I meant Europe.

Even Roberto seems to be doing better. He seems to have gained some confidence, and looks very secure between the goal posts.

What a great feeling it is to beat Sporting............

Maritimo, you are next............
