Playout in Portugal: Belenens are going against Benfica the players

Already the obligatory team image shortly before the impetus made the neutral viewer clearly, that something was not right on this Saturday evening in Lisbon. For in fact, in the camp of Elevenses Sad, only nine players behind the gang, including the two goalkeepers João Monterey and Alvaro Camacho, from which the former started in midfield. On the exchange bank? Nobody sat there.

In purely sporty, what had to happen — started with an own goal of Eduardo Key in minute 1: Elevenses went under. After the first 45 minutes, after further gates, among others, it was already 7: 0.

But it became even more incredible: First, the team should have refused completely, continue to play. Referee Manuel MTA had granted the team still time — and the club decided to continue playing. However, two players had not come from the catacombs after the 15-minute half-time break, so had to be kicked. And when another player injured after a short time, sitting on the panted floor and indicated not to be able to continue playing, the referee was finally forced, this game at only six other field players of the hosts prematurely in the 48th minute thoroughly cancel.

Due to the abort-surrounded relegation candidate Elevenses (only eight points from 15 games) possibly a devastating goal ratio at a threatening high double-digit defeat at this bizarre evening, which can be important in the fight for the league.

Health authority obviously responsible

But why was the derby in the Studio do Jamar to Areas in the west of the Lisbon West?

Like club president Run Pedro Soars, which was filmed during the halftime at the end of 0: 7 with tears in the eyes, probably explained on Saturday on a digital press conference, lying the execution of the game alone at the authorities. As a result, the team had been trimmed to games — especially since Elevenses, according to the President, neither Benefice nor the league nor in the health offices have asked for the shift of the game. In addition, the club, which should have reported 38 actors, apparently once again wanted to wait for the results of PCR tests — without success.
