A Thin Line Between Lucky and Sucky

Sucky.

That's how one should describe Benfica's performance this season, thus far.

The favourites were very close to be inflicted a defeat, at home, by Gil Vicente Barcelos, which is not a great team by any stretch of the imagination.

It was, for the first almost 70 minutes, a lackluster game, brought to life by Viana's goal, for the guests, in the 69th minute.

And the hosts did very little, by their usual standards, to win that match.

But they got lucky. Extremely lucky.
Minutes 92 and 93 was when Benfica's goals were scored.
Right after equalizing, as a matter of fact, Benfica went on the attack once again, and found the net one more time. Bad defending (and mentality) from Gil Vicente, yes, but basically luck was what did it. It was luck that brought Benfica the first three points of the season.
