Despite the draw, Benfica make history against Fenerbahçe | OneFootball

Despite leaving Istanbul with a draw on the scoreboard, Benfica achieved an unprecedented record against Fenerbahçe. This season, the eagles, since the official start of the same, have not yet conceded any goals, which, to date, had never happened in the history of the Club da Luz.

Even without managing to beat one of the strongest clubs in Turkey, the eagles achieved a feat that had never been recorded in over 121 years of history of the red and whites. The reds had never achieved such an impressive mark at the start of the season, with four wins and a draw, but no goals conceded.

It is already, until now, the best start of the Luz team, leaving behind the mark set by Jorge Jesus, when he led Benfica in his second stint as coach, in the 2020/21 season. However, Bruno Lage's team will not want to stop here and, against Tondela, will seek to increase this mark.

One of the names that will be linked to this historic record is Anatoliy Trubin. Like the rest of the scarlet team, the Ukrainian international is going through an excellent moment of form, which has culminated in great performances and impressive saves that deny goals to opponents.

It is worth remembering that Benfica left Istanbul with a 0-0 draw, thus postponing all decisions until the second leg, which will take place next Wednesday, August 27, at the Estádio da Luz. Until then, the eagles will now host Tondela, a match that aims for the 3rd round of Liga Portugal Betclic, scheduled for Sunday, August 24.
