Mário Figueiredo returned to start for Benfica in a game where he showed some qualities but still demonstrates that he lacks training and competitive rhythm. Still, the player doesn't know how to play badly and showed quality when called upon.
The central defender made several defensive actions that were applauded by the stands at the Estádio da Luz, showing security and composure in his approach to the plays.
Besides the sporting performance, Mário also showed leadership attitude by immediately worrying about the health status of the teammate who left the game injured, a gesture that did not go unnoticed.
The player thus continues to gain competitive rhythm for the Eagles' team, showing that he can be a viable option for the coach's selections.
