重看一下进球才注意到艾马吻了队徽
Two goals in the second half from Cardozo(68') and Aimar(78') settles the victory over rivals as Benfica edge a step closer to the 32nd title.
Wonderful choreographies from Benfica fans in both ends set up the atmosphere for an important derby, dubbed as the «title decider» by the press for Benfica.
Saviola was not risked by Jesus and the manager decided to field Éder Luís alongside Cardozo in a rainy Lisbon night. Maxi Pereira serving his suspension, made way for Ruben Amorim at right-back.
Former Benfica player João Pereira started for Sporting, who had only pride to play for as they stood 23 points behind league leaders Benfica.
It was a cagey first half performance from the home side where they failed to create a good opportunity. The visitors had a couple of consecutive corners but nothing that worried Quim.
Jesus looked bemused at a rare event-less game in terms of chances from his players and opted to release Aimar in place of Éder Luís during the half-time break.
Captain Luisão was booked early in the second half for a late challenge to stop Sporting's counter attack as Benfica started to take control of the match. The towering Brazilian will miss the next Liga game for accumulation of 5 yellow cards.
Quim was first called into action on the 66th minute when Abel shot from a distance and the goalkeeper made a good save to parry the wide-bound ball.
Minutes later, Benfica and Liga top scorer Cardozo, broke the deadlock from a great individual run by Ruben Amorim on the right. His cross found Coentrão square on the other side and flashed the ball low across goal for the Paraguyan to tap in.
Aimar doubled the lead when he broke through the defence after a pass from Ramires and side stepped Rui Patrício to convert his effort from a tight angle. The Argentine really made the difference in midfield with his creativity and vision since coming on.
There was hardly a late surge from Sporting as they succumbed to a record 26-points difference over Benfica as Jesus pushed the home fans to begin celebrations before full-time.
Benfica continue with a six point lead over Braga and edge ever closer to the 32nd title.
