Benfica got their great victory in the Lisbon derby, a sour smile and a slight feeling of bitterness. Benfica chose between two “evils”, and chose the lesser one. Sporting’s dreams of defending the title were shattered by their bitter rivals, who disturbed the mood in the neighborhood, but also pushed Porto to the Portuguese title: Sporting – Benfica 0:2 (0:1).Darwin Nunez can’t stop scoring goals ⭐️ pic.twitter.com/kg5BHy4Asy— GOAL (@goal) April 17, 2022 Benfica has a world-class striker, Sporting does not, and that was the difference in this match. The Lisbon Lions are suffering because of Darwin Nunez, who drove Europe crazy with his goals. He threw Virgil van Dijk out of tact, ‘carried’ two players on his back and packed goals for Liverpool, and “killed” his angry rival and once again reminded everyone that not everything will revolve around Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Christopher Nkunku during the summer market. There is room for another star of the transition period. ##EDITORS_CHOICE##Darwin Nunez is having a season of his career, he scores goals as if on a conveyor belt and is becoming an increasingly sought-after commodity among the most powerful clubs in the Old Continent. The Portuguese Primeira is becoming too small for him. He is ready to take a step forward and climb a higher step. He scored 26 goals in the 26th game of the championship, 33rd in total in all competitions. Lisbon’s Sporting also felt how physically powerful and agile he is after Liverpool.Primeira Liga 🇵🇹Sporting CP vs SL Benfica.17/04 pic.twitter.com/XKCQT3MRSd— 𝕊𝕋𝔸ℕ𝔻 𝕐𝕆𝕌ℝ 𝔾ℝ𝕆𝕌ℕ𝔻 👊 (@Ultramaniatics_) April 18, 2022 Give him a second of space, minimal advantage and you will feel his killer instinct, the predatory gene. The Uruguayan wrestler got a televised ball from Jan Vertonghen, shook off the guard in the duel and elegantly overthrew Adan. And he provoked the home fans, he showed them who the boss in the city is. The title is moving north from Lisbon, the shipment is sent to Porto by Darwin Nunez. Benfica won’t be champion this season, but it won’t be Sporting either. Nunez made sure of that when he scored the first goal and then assisted with the other one, which was enough for the win.
