The Portuguese capital club played at home to FC Arouca in the Portugal Bwin league last weekend and did justice to their favourites. The team of Jorge Jesus won 2-0 against the promoted team and meanwhile finished last in the league. After just a few minutes, the game went out of hand for the guests. After eight minutes, goalie Victor Braga flew off the pitch in red. Shortly before the intermission, Benfica managed a 2-0 half-time lead with a double shot by Waldschmidt (38th) and Yaremchuk (43rd). There were no goals in the second 45 minutes. After two days of play, Lisbon is third behind city rivals and champions Sporting Lisbon as well as FC Gil Vicente, who only have a better goal difference.
The Jesus-Elf celebrated a successful start to the season after the 2:1 opening victory at Moreirense FC and the victory over Arouca. The PSV has not lost in nine league games (eight wins).
The captains remained undefeated with the two 2-0 victories in the CL-Quali against Spartak Moscow and thus all four compulsory games of the new season were won. Last season Benfica failed in the Champions League qualification against PAOK Saloniki (1-2). Afterwards, they continued in the Europa League, where they played the group phase against Lech Posen, Stand. Liège and Glasgow Rangers survived undefeated (three wins, three draws) and entered the intermediate round. There, however, the trip to the European Cup ended against Arsenal London.
Benfica Lisbon scored 69 goals in the domestic league last season, making it the second most dangerous offensive team. The best three players were Haris Seferovic (22 goals) and Everton and Luca Waldschmidt with seven goals each.
The central defenders Ferro and Jan Vertonghen as well as the two midfielders Luca Waldschmidt and Hari Seferovic are injured on Wednesday against the PSV.

Roger Schmidt’s team started the season on Saturday and handed over their business card to Heracles Almelo. The 24-time Dutch champion went into the match as a favourite and showed himself in good form. After the first 45 minutes Eindhoven led through the goal of Bruma with 1:0 (40th). After the change of sides, the visitors continued their efforts and decided the first game of the Eredivisie season with a 2-0 victory over Madueke in the 64th minute. After that, no more goals were scored.
The Schmidt-Elf has been undefeated for eight league games and scored seven victories in this period.
On the international stage, with four games and four victories in the CL qualification, things are going according to plan. With Galatasaray Istanbul in lap two, the Dutch also did not eliminate any walking customers. Against FC Midtjylland, they even remained without conceding in lap three. Last season, PSV played in the EL, overcoming the preliminary round against Granada FC, Omonia Nicosia and PAOK Saloniki and entering the intermediate round (four victories, two defeats). But there was then against Olympiakos Piraeus after the 2:4 first leg defeat in Greece after the end of the game, because the second leg could only be won with 2:1 at home and a goal was missing to advance. In the 18/19 season, Eindhoven played in the premier league and was eliminated without a win after the group stage.
The Dutch also showed a lot of hunger for goals in the domestic league and were the third-best attacking team in the Eredivisie with 74 goals. Donyell Malen (now BVB) was the best clipper in the PSV jersey with 19 stalls. Eran Zahavi (17) and Cody Gakpo and Nonso Madueke (each with seven goals) were the most successful players in front of the opposing team.
Mohamed Ihattarsen (Suspended) as well as the injured Maximiliano Romero, Maxime Delanghe, Richard Ledezma and Philipp Max will not be able to attend on Wednesday in Lisbon.
