FC Porto's defeat of Benfica secures them the title of National Junior Champions in a grave contest.
Rewritten Article
Gotta give props to Benfica – they ain't no chickens, they're Junior National champs now! On Sunday, they faced off against FC Porto in Seixal for the classic clash, and a draw was all they needed to secure that title.
The first half was a nail-biter, with Duarte Soares putting one past the Porto goalie right before the break (42'). But Porto didn't back down; they scored twice to take the lead – Leonardo Fajardo bringing things level at 54', and Tomás Peixoto making it 1-2 at 75'.
Benfica didn't panic. Duarte Soares stepped up again, netting two in the 82nd to steal the victory and the title, leaving the outcome unaffected even if the game went to a final round. The excitement didn't end there – Filipe Sousa got sent off for roughhousing with a ball boy, causing a bit of a ruckus in added time.
With 29 points under their belt, Benfica sits pretty at the top of the table, five points clear of Porto.
