O Classico, or the "Derby da segunda circular" as this rivalry is known has been won by Benfica, again I might add. Benfica dominated from the start of the game.
Benfica beat Sporting by the same result as earlier in the season: 2-0.
This team is in fine form, and even with a man down the entire second half, Benfica continued to play great soccer.
A couple of things to take away from this game is that Salvio needs to be signed on a permanent deal, but considering how well he is playing at the moment, I do not believe that Atletico Madrid will lower their $15 million asking price. This kind of reminds me of the Jose Antonio Reyes situation a couple of seasons ago when he was on loan from Atletico.
Another is that Nico is in fine form, he has replaced Angel DiMaria nicely.
He is showing great vision in his play, and has a lot of flair when he takes on defenders. I would love to see this Argentinean duo together for the next few seasons.
