Kerem Aktürkoğlu brace sees Benfica survive Farense scare

Benfica 3-2 Farense

Going into Wednesday's Primeira Liga match against Farense SC, SL Benfica knew that anything short of a victory would be a massive disappointment. With Sporting CP just three points ahead of the Benfica, Bruno Lage put out an attacking side against a Farense team that has struggled of late. The last time Farense visited the Estadio da Luz, they managed an unlikely 1-1 draw. The struggling Algrave club were not far off obtaining another shock draw, falling just short on this occasion.
