L’Equipe player ratings Zenit 3-1 SLB 2019
This Nuno Tavares goal vs Pacos de Ferreira was an absolutely monstrous hit from the young Benfica left back in his side’s Portuguese league game on 10 August, 2019. The Nuno goal against Pacos was Benfica’s opener and came in the 26th minute- they eventually went on to win 5-0. Early goal of the season contender for 19/20 in Portugal.
Benfica crushed domestic rivals Sporting CP 5-0 to lift the Portuguese Super Cup last night in front of a 28,636 strong crowd in Algarve. It was SLB’s third SuperTaca in four years, following previous triumphs in 2016 and 2017, and the biggest margin of victory in a Super Cup tie since 1996.
