Benfica beat Ouriense 6-0 today in a match for the 19th round of the Women’s Football League, but will have to wait another round to celebrate the title, as rival Sporting beat Damaiense (2-0). The third championship is therefore still one point away.
With nine points ahead of the leonine formation, at a time when there are still three rounds to play in the competition, the feeling in Seixal is that the title will no longer escape the red team, which will visit Valadares Gaia.
Superior in every aspect of the game, the Benfica team reached half-time with a 3-0 lead, in a game where Ourém’s resistance lasted just seven minutes, when Jéssica Silva, assisted by Cloé Lacasse, opened the scoring with a cross shot.
After 13 minutes, again under the watchful eye of Cloé Lacasse, it was Ana Vitória’s turn to make it 2-0 with a strong shot. In a one-way game, Ouriense was rewarded with a great performance by Ana Rita Oliveira, goalkeeper who deflected shots from Kika Nazareth (21 minutes) and Cloé Lacasse (26′) into the woodwork and even saved a penalty from the Canadian Lacasse. , at 38.
The break would not come, however, without Benfica making it 3–0 in the 41st minute, in a careless move by Ouriense’s defense that allowed Carole Costa to curl the ball into the back of the net.
In the second half, the predominance of the ‘eagles’ was confirmed with three more goals. After the two assists he made in the first half, Cloé Lacasse entered his name on the scoresheet as the author of his team’s fourth and fifth goals, the latter being designated when converting a penalty. Kika Nazareth, aged 80, closed the score at 6-0, a result only extended by the good performance of the Ouriense goalkeeper.
