Lusitânia’s Historic Debut in Liga Placard Against Benfica
Lusitânia made history in the Azores by playing in the Liga Placard for the first time, 11 years after Operário. They faced the mighty Benfica and, despite a strong effort, lost 3-6. Benfica showed their intentions early, with Léo Gugiel scoring in the fifth minute from midfield. The home team grew bolder, and Enzo equalized with a stunning top-corner goal. Two minutes later, Jacaré redirected a cross from Arthur, putting Benfica ahead again. Sandro Silva then capitalized on a loose ball to make it 2-2 before halftime. Debutant head coach Cassiano Klein urged his players to step up. Carlos Monteiro scored in the 23rd minute and Chishkala added another in the 26th. Lusitânia proved resilient, reducing the deficit with two goals from Enzo, a standout former Magnus player. Despite their intense effort, Benfica proved their title contender status, extending their lead with goals from Afonso Jesus and Ivan Chishkala. The game saw more chances from both teams, but the emotional and physical toll made it hard for Lusitânia. Nevertheless, their positive debut marks the return of an Azorean team to the top division.
