00:03So, we're underway at the Rio Mayor Stadium, there's Cazapia against Benfica.
00:12Benfica, well the points are proved tonight, drawing on the opening day in a match they feel they definitely should
00:19have won.
00:20That was against Academico, the promoted side.
00:24And in each of the last three matches against Cazapia, including two at this ground,
00:30and Benfica are fouled to win, so...
00:36A goal draw from Edinburgh, David Nucabaccio with a goal.
00:42Cazapia back in for Prestiani.
00:46Some sharp footwork, deflected and in!
00:51Benfica lead inside three minutes, not much that Andre Gomes,
00:56the former Benfica goalkeeper, could do in this situation.
01:11Just what the visitors were hoping for.
01:14After a full start in the league with a draw on the opening weekend.
01:20This time, though, it's going to help.
01:24A deflection of Souza, it is into the net, Prestiani with a shot,
01:30Gomez with absolutely no chance.
01:35There's a B-0, Benfica one!
01:43Belaujo, Gabi, and the Ghanaian Laurence of 14.
01:49Bante with a room to cross, it's a good one as well.
01:53And Samuel Dal.
01:57Chulikov, Prestiani, the Argentinian super form.
02:01That was not a super finish, though.
02:04I haven't seen his goal from last week against Academico,
02:07it's worth checking out.
02:08This one is a long way away from the top corner.
02:21No, Pavlidis.
02:23Onafa.
02:252-0, Benfica.
02:30Too easy for the visitors.
02:39The goal last week for Pavlidis.
02:42An assist.
02:43This time around.
02:47The legend.
02:50There's another for his collection.
02:52He won the ball initially.
02:54And then he sensed that there was a big opportunity.
02:59Rochina dispossessed.
03:01Pavlidis.
03:03To Silva.
03:05And this finish.
03:07Again, off the head of the keeper, Andre Gomez.
03:11It's because of P-0.
03:13Then Fika, too.
03:23Tiny work.
03:24Prestiani.
03:26Korean supports.
03:28One of them is Sudikov.
03:34Gomez.
03:36Keeps Kazapier.
03:41Prestiani.
03:43Doesn't get away from Genaldes, but...
03:46He did strike first in this game.
03:49Three minutes in.
03:50And the Argentine.
03:52And Benfica the lead.
03:54With the help of a big deflection off David Sousa.
04:02It is Benfica who get the second half started.
04:06Leading by two goals to nil on match day two of the new Liga Portugal season.
04:13Control on the opening day for the Eagles putting a little bit of pressure on them.
04:20To produce a very good performance today.
04:26So far they are doing that.
04:29Prestiani.
04:31And that was your...
04:34Not making his mark in this game.
04:36The number nine for the home team.
04:38It's the number ten Sudikov for Benfica through for Pavlidis.
04:42Lovely build up.
04:44And a great start to the second half for Benfica.
04:50And what a start to the season it has been for Vangelis Pavlidis.
05:02Throw in five goals in Europa League qualifying as well.
05:09Maybe it's such a fortune about that one for Benfica.
05:13When it came off the heel of Perez.
05:15Rafa with the pass through.
05:17Pavlidis into the ground and over the keeper.
05:22It's Casa PNL.
05:24Benfica three.
05:26Pavlidis.
05:33Pavlidis.
05:36Superb.
05:45A man at the peak of his powers.
05:5427 year old.
05:56Up to three goals for the season in the league.
06:00And he's on a hat trick tonight.
06:11Flicked on by Barrero.
06:13A 40.
06:15He's too slow in possession.
06:17Pavlidis.
06:19Did it all by himself.
06:22Won the ball.
06:24Beat the defenders.
06:25Beat the keeper as well.
06:27A left footed finish from the penalty spot this time.
06:31And that is another classy goal.
06:40Oh there's Pavlidis.
06:42Set up by Barrero.
06:45And that is a hat trick in no time at all.
06:50In this second half.
07:03He's a man who got hat tricks against the likes of Porto.
07:10He's tearing apart.
07:12He's tearing apart Casapia.
07:13In this second period.
07:15The marking was terrible.
07:18And the finishing has been clinical.
07:23Moreno with the assist this time.
07:25Steered in.
07:27With his right foot.
07:29By Pavlidis.
07:33Surakov.
07:35To Prestiani.
07:37Now it's Dahl.
07:38Deflected.
07:39And in.
07:46Everything working out.
07:47For Benfica this evening.
07:50That's four goals already.
07:52In this second half.
07:56They are stunned.
07:58Those home players.
08:10Now.
08:11Now.
08:12Wrong footed.
08:14Found a deflection off Ofori.
08:15That will.
08:16Go down.
08:18As an own goal.
08:19For Lorenzo Ofori.
08:25Four goals.
08:27In 13 minutes.
08:29To start the second half.
08:31For Benfica.
08:33It is.
08:36Unfortunate for Benfica.
08:38But.
08:38It's a.
08:39Pretty miserable.
08:40Night for Casapia.
08:43Still has.
08:44Half an hour to go.
08:46Duran.
08:47For Sheldrup.
08:52They're queuing up.
08:54And John Duran.
08:55Has cracked in.
08:56Goal number seven.
09:08Just a few seconds.
09:10On the pitch.
09:13And the Colombian.
09:15Has got his first.
09:16League goal.
09:17For Benfica.
09:25No mercy being shown here.
09:27Duran with a goal.
09:28In the Europa League.
09:29Already this season.
09:32Talk about quality off the bench.
09:37The control.
09:39And the finish.
09:40And it flashed by Gomez.
09:45What a night for Benfica.
09:47Casapia.
09:480.
09:49Benfica.
09:50Seven.
10:11Castellani.
10:16Is it worthy of a second yellow?
10:19It is.
10:21Well.
10:23That is.
10:28Hell of an impact.
10:29From the substance.
10:30Not one.
10:31He wanted.
10:33Just an amazing hand out.
10:38Knopping Castellani across the face.
10:40Right in front of.
10:46And what a performance from Benfica.
10:49What a disastrous one from Casapia.
10:51Marco Silva watching his side.
