Summary: Blanch - Benfica 7: 0 (game stopped) (Sports 1)
A rare play was recorded yesterday (Saturday) in the Portuguese league, when a game was stopped in the middle and did not end in what was called in the country as a "shameful farce". Despite Corona's outburst at Blanchash, the league manager was unable to postpone her deal with Benfica and she appeared for the home game against the Empire from Lisbon with a squad that includes only 9 players! One of the fielders, by the way, was the substitute goalkeeper.
Even before the game, Blanching president Roy Pedro Suarez announced that the team has 17 patients among the staff and professional staff. All team players shared a message on social media before the game: "Football has a heart only when it is competitive. Football has a heart only when it is sporty. Football has a heart only when it serves as an example of public health. Today football has lost its heart."
However, Benfica led 0: 7 until the break and in the second half Blanchash came with only 7 players due to "injuries". Since at this point it was already a legal necessity to end the game, the referee whistled for the end.
Benfica took the lead in the first minute after an own goal and later did not feel sorry for the unfortunate opponent.
Darwin Nunez scored a hat-trick, Harris Sprowitz added a pair of Julian Weigel contributed one to set up a 0-7 draw with the break cut.
Blanchard came into the game in 16th place out of 18, with 15 mandatory goals.
Benfica, who as usual are battling Porto and Sporting Lisbon for the championship title, could have made a very big profit from tonight's game - if the goal difference will be crucial at the end of the season.
But the match did not come to an end and now it remains to be seen whether there will be a replay, or whether Blanchash will be punished with a technical loss.

At the end, President Blanchesh said: "At noon we informed the principals that the game could not be held. We only had eight players. And yet they informed us that if we did not show up we would lose technically due to 'unjustified absence'. The game today was a shame for all of us."
On the other hand, Benfica president Roy Costa said at the end that his team had no choice, despite the fear of the new variant and the possibility of infection.
"We did not like to come to the game under these conditions, we were forced to play. I regret what happened, it is a black chapter in Portuguese football and the country itself."
Sporting Lisbon, ranked third in the league, also issued a statement: "Whoever made this situation possible must be questioned by everyone who cares about sporting fairness, it must reach the heads of state ... This game has gained worldwide resonance, and it is a black chapter in our football history." .
