Match Report
Benfica swept Moreirense aside 4-1 at the Estádio da Luz on matchday 31 of the Primeira Liga, with Richard Ríos delivering one of the performances of the season — a goal, multiple assists, and constant menace throughout.
Leandro Barreiro opened the scoring inside the first two minutes, but Moreirense hit back quickly through a Diogo Travassos counter-attack at 25'. Ríos restored Benfica's lead almost immediately (28'), before Franjo Ivanovic put the game to bed with a late brace — finishing at 89' and again in added time, the second teed up by Amar Dedic. No red cards or penalties disrupted an otherwise straightforward evening for the hosts.
The win keeps Benfica in second place on 75 points, four behind leaders Porto with three games remaining — the title race stays alive. For Moreirense, the gap in class was painfully clear; after Travassos's equaliser they barely threatened again.
