Casa Pia AC vs SL Benfica

Benfica dropped two costly points in a 1-1 draw away to Casa Pia at the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior. The visitors looked set to collect all three until Rafael Brito struck nine minutes from time to level things up and send the Lisbon giants home frustrated. Richard Ríos had broken the deadlock in the 69th minute with a close-range finish, converting after substitute Gianluca Prestianni — introduced for a struggling Dodi Lukebakio at the hour mark — delivered dangerously to the far post. Benfica had dominated the opening half, with Vangelis Pavlidis and Andreas Schjelderup both going close, but the hosts' defensive block held firm. Casa Pia levelled when a defensive mix-up let Brito finish clinically, and goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira was booked in the dying minutes. The result keeps Benfica third on 66 points, slipping further off the pace in the title race. For Casa Pia, five games without a win and 16th place make the point a small but vital lifeline near the bottom.
