Benfica beat Estoril Praia 2-1 in Liga Portugal Betclic, controlling the match through sustained possession and territorial pressure against Estoril’s 3-4-3. The home side had 66% of the ball, produced 25 shots and registered eight on target, translating that volume into 2.03 xG. Vangelis Pavlidis and Clement Lenglet scored Benfica’s goals, while Yanis Begraoui replied for Estoril Praia from one of their limited attacking moments.

Benfica’s goalkeeper faced two shots on target and posted a 50% save percentage. The result added three league points for Benfica.
