Benfica B beat Leixões SC 1-0 in the Segunda Liga, with Francisco Neto's sixth-minute goal proving decisive. The home side took an early lead and then held on to secure the three points.
Neto scored from Tiago Freitas's assist inside the opening six minutes to make it 1-0, and that remained the only goal of the game. Leixões had to play catch-up for the remaining 84 minutes but could not find a way through.
The match was punctuated by nine yellow cards, all bookings and no sending-offs. With no shot or possession data to examine, the clear standout moment was Neto's early strike – the single goal that settled the match.
