Fulham beat Benfica 1-0, thus guaranteeing victory in another edition of the Algarve Trophy, which was played at the Algarve Stadium, with a sold out crowd.
This year, Benfica and Fulham were the guests and did not leave their credits in the hands of others, providing an excellent spectacle for the approximately 18 thousand people who were present.
On a sporting level, luck ended up smiling on the team from south London, led by Portuguese coach Marco Silva. The goal that made the difference was scored by Nigerian striker Alex Iwobi, in the 21st minute, a player who was voted man of the match.
At Benfica, the presence of Renato Sanches did not go unnoticed, who, despite not having played, took to the pitch, to loud applause from the stands.
The Algarve Trophy is the event that marks the summer in the south every year with the arrival of some of the best teams today.
Fulham will play again at the Estádio Algarve, this Monday, against the Andalusians of Sevilla, a match that promises high-level football.
Sevilla recently played another pre-season game at the Estádio do Algarve, against Sporting, which ended with the Alvalade lions winning 2-1.
The meeting takes place on Monday, August 5th, at 20 pm, also at the Algarve Stadium. Tickets can be purchased at the usual locations and at Meo Blue Ticket
