Estoril turned in an impressive team display in front of their home supporters as Nodar Lominadze, Joao Carvalho and Ricard Sanchez all hit the target to put them in a commanding lead before Diogo Spencer struck in the 78th minute to give the visitors something to cheer for.

AVS' slow start to the campaign has been owing to their lapses at the back, where they have conceded 11 goals already, while netting four at the opposite end of the pitch — only Arouca (13) have shipped more goals in the league.

Benfica preview: The ‘Special One’ returns

Benfica were left spitting feathers in their opening game of the Champions League on Tuesday when they fell to a 3-2 defeat against Qarabag after throwing away a two-goal lead at the Estadio da Luz.

Coupled with a 1-1 draw against 10-man Santa Clara in the Primeira Liga on September 12, when they failed to make the most of their numerical advantage, the midweek Champions League defeat has resulted in Benfica parting ways with head coach Bruno Lage, bringing his one-year stint to an end.

With his strike against the Azerbaijan outfit, the Greek striker now has five goal contributions in his last four games for club and country (3G, 2A).

Pavlidis, who racked up 19 league goals in a solid debut campaign last season, should lead As Aguias’ attack once again, alongside big-money summer signing Franjo Ivanovic.
