In the final minutes of this match, which was originally scheduled to have been played at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon on Wednesday 3 March, Benfica decided not to continue with the game and asked for an abandonment.
The Belenenses F.C. has been playing in the Primeira Liga since 1922, but they have had to abandon their match against Benfica due to a lack of players.
This season, Benfica has only lost once in the league.
Belenenses’ Portuguese top-flight match against Benfica was called off early in the second half because the home team had just six players on the field after playing the first half with nine players, including two goalkeepers.
Belenenses had 17 players out due to a Covid outbreak at halftime, and they were behind 7-0.
And, after a prolonged break, the team in third place reappeared with just seven players, before an injury occurred shortly after the resumption, leaving them with only six players, prompting an instant abandonment.
Bernardo Silva, a Portuguese midfielder for Manchester City, tweeted early in the game: “What exactly is this? Is it just me that doesn’t get why the game hasn’t been rescheduled?”
Belenenses, who were forced to play goalie Joao Monteiro in defense, got off to the worst possible start, conceding an own goal in the opening minute.
Benfica averaged 85 percent possession with the two-man advantage, demonstrating their domination.
By halftime, the visitors had taken control thanks to an own goal from Brazilian defender Eduardo Kau, two goals from Haris Seferovic, one from Julian Weigl, and a Darwin Nunez hat-trick.
The game was called off a minute into the second quarter when Monteiro fell to the ground, causing the referee to stop play since the required number of players – seven – were not present.
“Football only has heart if it is competitive,” the Belenenses players said in a joint statement before the match. Football has heart only when it is really sporting.
“Football has heart only when it is used to promote public health. Football has lost its soul nowadays.”
