Vangelis Pavlidis saved the day for Benfica by scoring in the 94th minute to secure a 3-2 victory over Estrela Amadora. The captain of the Greek national team, however, did not want to focus on that, but rather on the “Eagles’” lackluster performance.
“I don’t want to talk about the league; I want to look at each game individually. We have to stay humble—I always say that—because this time we weren’t good enough. We have to get better,” he emphasized.

“It’s very important that we got the three points. Estrela defends very well; they scored two goals, while we needed to score the third. In the first half, we were completely in control of the game. We lacked that final pass to create even more chances. In the second half, it’s clear that we needed to defend better. We can’t afford to concede goals on free kicks—we all need to defend better. The important thing is that we got the three points and are continuing our run in the league,” he added.
