The Ukrainian goalkeeper scored his fifth wedge in 11 matches of the season
Benfica beat with a big score on home field Rio Ave in the match of the 9th round of the championship Portugal – 5:0.
The hero of the meeting was Turkish winger Kerem Akturkoglu. One half was enough for him to score a hat-trick. In total, the 26-year-old player, who moved from Galatasaray in early September, already has 8 goals and 2 assists for the Lisbon club in all competitions.
For Anatoly Trubin, who played the entire match as usual, it was not difficult to keep his goal intact – Rio Ave never hit his goal. In total, the Ukrainian kept a clean sheet in five of the 11 matches of the season, conceding nine goals.
In the end, the grandee finally finished off the underdog – Andreas Schjelderup and Zeki Amdouni entered their names into the protocol. Both players came on as substitutes, with the Swiss replacing the hero of the first half.
The win moved the Eagles up to third place. Bruno Lage’s team is two points behind Porto and 8 points behind Sporting, but has a game in hand on the leader.
Benfica’s next match will also be played at home – on October 30 in the League Cup against Santa Clara.
