The Benfica Game

The Portuguese are passionate about their Futebol. Last week, with Luke being here, we had the opportunity to go to see one of the local teams play. Benfica is a our friend Jose's favorite team. We hear him talk about the team all the time, so we figured we better take in a game and witness a bit of the futebol culture we hear so much about. 
The game did not disappoint. Not only did Benfica win, but it was an exciting game.

Games such as these, it's better to be safe rather than sorry, so you need the full swat team in place :) Apparently games can get out of hand on occasion.

WARM-UP

What a cute cheering section!

Jose and Otto

They Scored!!!!!!

The Final Score, Benfica 2, France 1

Benfica has now advanced to the quarter-finals, so we are hoping that in mid-March we can go to another game.
