Farense vs Benfica B Match Recap - Nov 2, 2025

In a thrilling encounter at the Estádio de São Lúis, Farense edged out Benfica B in a high-scoring affair that ended 4-3 on November 2, 2025. This match was not just about three points; it was a crucial moment for both teams as they navigate the challenges of the Segunda Liga season.

The game started with an explosive pace, and it was Benfica B who struck first. In the 25th minute, Gonçalo Oliveira found the back of the net, giving his team an early lead. Just four minutes later, Jelani Trevisan Dumas doubled their advantage with another goal, showcasing Benfica's attacking prowess. Dumas wasn't done yet; he completed a quick-fire hat trick by scoring again in the 33rd minute, putting Benfica B ahead 3-0 and seemingly in control of the match.

However, Farense, sitting in 11th place before this match, refused to back down. After a shaky start, they began to find their rhythm and clawed one back through Romero Franco in the 63rd minute. The goal ignited hope among Farense fans and shifted momentum toward the home side.

As if responding to their supporters' energy, Farense continued to press forward. In the 73rd minute, André Candeias leveled the score at 3-3 with a well-timed strike that sent shockwaves through Benfica's defense. Just five minutes later, Rui Costa put Farense ahead for the first time in the match with another goal that left Benfica reeling.

With time running out and desperation setting in for Benfica B, Farense sealed their remarkable comeback when Dorregaray Diego scored in the 88th minute. The stadium erupted as Farense took a commanding lead of 4-3.

Despite a valiant effort from Benfica B to equalize late in the game, they could not find another goal. The final whistle confirmed Farense's victory-a result that will surely boost their confidence after struggling for consistency earlier this season.

This win places Farense firmly on track for mid-table stability with now 11 points from ten matches while pushing Benfica B deeper into relegation concerns with only ten points from nine games played. Both teams have shown flashes of brilliance but remain inconsistent-this match highlighted those struggles vividly.

Reflecting on my pre-match predictions where I anticipated goals due to both teams' defensive vulnerabilities-I must admit I was spot-on! The action-packed nature of this clash certainly lived up to expectations and then some.

Looking ahead, Farense will aim to build on this momentum as they travel to face Feirense next week. Meanwhile, Benfica B will need to regroup quickly before hosting Vizela if they hope to turn around their fortunes and avoid slipping further down the standings.

In what has been an unpredictable season thus far for both sides, today's match serves as a reminder: anything can happen when two determined teams meet on the pitch.
