Benfica stamped in passport last four The champions after defeating Levante (3-2) in the last round of Group D of the Elite round.
With Rui Costa attending the Pavillan da Luz podium, the embodied presented a globally positive exhibition and, especially in the first part, controlled the game as planned. Fede’s first goal (in his own net after a shot by Rafael Henmi on the post) calmed Pulpis’s team more, which simply due to inefficiency could not increase the score in the first half. In the last nine minutes, management should have acted differently once Benfica hit five fouls. But the defense process proved to be consolidated, and there were no further violations before the break for the Orlov.
There was a lot of emotion in the extra stage. Benfica came out strong, in the same minute (23) they scored two goals – Ivan Chishkala and Diego Roncaglio (this one from goal to goal, when Levante lined up in 5×4) – and the road to the final four seemed to have no obstacles. … But futsal is like this: from one moment to the next, everything can change, and therefore after that there was a strong reaction from Spain. In the 26th minute, Arasa, assisted by Mark Tolra (who returned to Luz, where he played in the 2018/2019 season), narrowed the gap to Levante. A few seconds later, Rafa Usin, again after a pass by Mark Tolr, made the score 3: 2.
Hence, in addition to the many yellow cards (some of them greatly exaggerated) shown by the French referee duo, the match was completely unpredictable, with opportunities to score in both goals, but the truth is that neither team managed to score again. …
Something that, logically, in favor of Benfica, which, in fact, had enough draw to come out ahead. But the Reds finished this elite round successfully – three games, three wins, 15 goals scored and only 5 goals scored. Ticket for last four The most important UEFA club competition guaranteed. Let’s see what the Eagles do in the Champions semi-finals (April 28 or 29, 2022) and, if they win, in the final (April 30 or May 1, 2022). location last four UEFA has yet to announce. But Benfica is on its way …
