This was it. The last match that needed to be won in order to not have to worry about playing in Oporto for the title.
And, even though it was at home, Benfica failed to get the right result in it.
I can't help but think, once again, that Benfica's coach, Jorge Jesus, is not a very good coach.
Just looking at the result, one might think that Benfica was unlucky.
But, seeing the highlights, I must say that Estoril was the unlucky team. The team from the municipality of Cascais had by far the better chances, and the tying goal by Maxi Pereira was one of the few that went the other way.
So, Benfica should consider themselves lucky that they got the draw. Estoril deserved the win.
And this sets up the Porto - Benfica encounter next matchday as do-or-die for both teams.
Of course, Benfica will all but win the title with just a draw. Porto will have to win to have first chance at the title.
