Henrique Araújo shone in a training game, promoted by Bruno Lage, between the least used elements of the main team and a mixed group with players from the Bs and the under-23 encarnados. The meeting ended with enlightening 7-0 for the most quoted group.
Just a few hours after Benfica's victory over Estrela da Amadora, 1-0, in the eagles' debut in the Liga Portugal Betclic, Bruno Lage promoted a preparation meeting at the Seixal Campus, where he gave an opportunity to the players least used by the coach so far.
The great highlight was for Henrique Araújo. The striker formed at Benfica lined up for the encarnados' main team, and scored four of the seven goals of the team under Bruno Lage's orders, according to information being advanced by the newspaper Record.
Who also started for the encarnado team was Florentino Luís. The defensive midfielder, who even scored a great goal in the third preliminary round of the Champions League, against Nice, scored again, at a time when he is being pointed out as leaving Benfica this summer.
Who also took the opportunity to add minutes was Kerem Akturkoglu. The encarnado winger had been launched against Nice, like Florentino, in the final minutes of the second game of the eliminatory. Otherwise, the player who is close to a return to Turkey, did not add playing time in the match against Estrela da Amadora, in the second round of the national championship.
