In the 91st minute, Mourinho was furious and his home debut was screwed up

A match in the first round of the Portuguese Super League began, and Benfica played against Avihe at home. Benfica won 4 wins and 1 draw in the first five league games. After losing to Karabach in the Champions League, head coach Raje was fired, and Benfica invited Mourinho, which was a bit surprising. Mourinho's coaching debut led Benfica to beat Avish Town. This time, Benfica faces Avi River, who ranks 16th in the league. As a result, Benfica actually failed and was tied in stoppage time, losing 2 points. Mourinho's home debut in Benfica was screwed up and failed to bring a victory to the team.

Benfica lined up 433 formation. The offensive tridents of Orsnes, Pavlidis and Ivanovic attacked together. Rios, Barenecia and Sudakov formed three midfielders. Dedic, Antonio Silva, Otamendi and Dal started with four defenders. Trubin serves as the starting goalkeeper. Benfica's starting lineup is worth up to 200 million euros. Avihe's starting lineup is only 23 million euros. The difference in hard power between the two teams is very big.

Although Benfica took the initiative in this game, the goal came very late. In the 86th minute, Benfica broke the deadlock. Luke Bacchio sent a cross near the right baseline, and Sudakov pushed the ball directly to score. However, Benfica lost the ball in just a few hours. In the 91st minute, Andre Louis broke into the right side of the penalty area, cut inside and shot, and the ball drilled into the far corner of the goal, saving Avi River. Mourinho was furious, and almost got 3 points to 1 point! The final score was 1-1, and Benfica was unexpectedly upset.

Benfica's possession rate was as high as 69%, with 19 crazy shots and 7 shots on the right side, but only scored 1 goal. Avihe has few opportunities, with only 4 shots in the game and two shots on the right side, and scored 1 goal. Avihe goalkeeper Mistao performed well, and he made 6 saves, which allowed Avihe to get a draw. None of Benfica's forwards are reliable. Pavlidiz has many opportunities. He always uses 7 shots and 4 shots on the right side, but he failed to score. Ivanovic was almost invisible, he only had one shot but failed to shoot directly. The three forwards who came on the bench failed to score either. These forwards disappointed Mourinho.
