Mourinho is undefeated in 12 games in the Portuguese Super League! 2-0 to 2-2! Benfica’s weird own goal, red light in the title race

In the early morning of November 10th, the 11th round of the Portuguese Super League was held at the Stadium of Light. Benfica faced off against the underdog Casabia at home. This was supposed to be a 3-point game, but a strange own goal left Mourinho speechless. The draw at the last moment made it difficult for the home fans to calm down. As early as 2 Although they were leading, they were beaten by two goals in a row. In the end, Benfica was unexpectedly tied 2-2 by Casabia. Although they are still third in the Portuguese Super League standings, they are already 6 points behind Porto at the top. There is a lot of pressure to compete for the championship.

The madman Mourinho has lost three games in a row in the Champions League. In addition to the results of his predecessor, he has 0 points in four games in the Champions League. There is basically no chance of advancing to the next round. Therefore, it is the last word to return to the Portuguese Super League and win the championship. This is also the current situation of Benfica. Facing Casabia, whose lineup and strength are obviously weak, Mourinho has no reservations and directly sends all the main players, hoping to kill the game as early as possible with the strongest offensive.

As soon as the game started, Benfica quickly entered the state. Wave after wave of offensive frenzy impacted Kasabiya's defense. The visiting team was beaten to a defensive position and could not counterattack at all. In the 18th minute of the game, Sudakov received a counterattack from his teammates in the penalty area. He hardly made any adjustments and directly broke the deadlock with a left-foot volley. Benfica led 1-0 and got off to a fantastic start. Subsequently, the home team's attack continued unabated and almost expanded the score many times. Unfortunately, they were unlucky and missed several must-goal opportunities. Mourinho looked dark on the sidelines.

Change sides and fight again. In the 60th minute of the game, a Kasabiya player committed a handball foul in the penalty area. The referee pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation. Pavlidis made a free throw and Benfica expanded the score to 2-0. At this time, the camera captured Mourinho on the sidelines. The little old man showed a brief relaxed expression. It seemed that the three points were stable, but who would have thought that a magical plot was about to happen.

Just a few minutes later, Benfica themselves committed a handball in the penalty area. It was really a courtesy. Casabia won a penalty kick, but the visiting team's penalty was saved. This outrageous own goal helped the visiting team bring the score back to one goal, and the suspense of the game began again.

Kasabiya's morale was boosted after a last-ditch fight, and then he fought back desperately. In the 91st minute of stoppage time, the visiting team sent a high-quality cross from the right side. The Benfica goalkeeper made an unstable first save and the ball landed at the edge of the penalty area. The Naga goalkeeper who followed up made a missed shot and succeeded, 2-2, and Benfica was tied. Mourinho spread his hands on the sidelines with a look of helplessness. This was the scenario he least wanted to see. As a result, the home team lost 2 points, and the point difference with the leader Porto was widened to 6 points. The championship has already turned red!
