Benfica continue to show they are pretenders

Benfica last seasons defending champions continue their winless ways in this seasons Portuguese League. Benfica after losing last week at home to Academica, now lose on the road to Nacional to start the season with two straight loses. Benfica have just as many loses as they had all last season and the fans are sure to be bringing out the white hankerchief to the next encounter as this is not only embarassing but a disgrace to the club. The game with Nacional went into the half scoreless before Nacional's Luis Alberto opened the scoring in the 50th minute, Orlando Sa then doubled the lead for the Madeira club before Carlos Martins cut the lead in extra time but it was to little to late as Nacional went on to win 2-1.

In other action, Setubal held Braga to a scoreless draw as both clubs remain undefeated on the season
