In an amazing game, Espinho prevailed over Benfica, the Super Cup title holder, 3-2 (19-25, 25-22, 25-23, 29-31, 15-11) to send a sign to the reigning champions that they are ready for revenge.
Even though they were trailing after the first set, they had enough power to turn the engines on and to make the comeback by taking the next two sets. After Benfica’s respond in the fourth, we saw a good display of Sporting in the tie-break, which was enough to win a game.
In the last season’s playoff finals, Benfica defeated SC Espinho 3-2 in series to take the championship title.
