Benfica defeats Alverca 1-0 in Primeira Liga match
Benfica secured a 1-0 victory against Alverca in the 10th round of the Primeira Liga at the Estádio da Luz. The decisive moment occurred in the 51st minute when Vangelis Pavlidis converted a penalty, which was awarded after Claudio Echeverri was fouled in the area.
Despite the win, Benfica struggled to break through Alverca’s organized defensive structure for much of the match. The entry of Echeverri from the bench provided the necessary spark to unlock the game. Alverca’s goalkeeper, Matheus Mendes, delivered a strong performance to keep the scoreline close until the final whistle.
With this result, Benfica remains in second place with 25 points, five points behind league leaders FC Porto. Pavlidis continues his strong season, reaching 18 goals in 19 appearances across all competitions.
