Benfica’s coach, Roger Schmidt, did not hide his frustration at the end of the game with Chaves, in which Benfica lost 1-0 with a goal in added time. He acknowledges that the team had great opportunities, but he has to accept the result.
“We didn’t score, so it’s very simple. We all know that in this type of match, when we try to find solutions in attacks with the opponent defending and many players behind the ball, we risk losing the championship and we always do”. we find solutions. Today we had great chances, but the goalkeeper made two or three great saves. We couldn’t score and sometimes, when we didn’t take advantage of the chances, the opponent believed it. We made a counterattack and he scored a goal. So we have to accept that they won the game,” explained Roger Schmidt.
The Benfica leader lost this Saturday at Desportivo de Chaves, by 1-0, in a match from round 28 of the I Liga, and saw FC Porto get even closer. The dragons beat Santa Clara 2-1.
