| Post Match Views: Braga 2 - 0 Benfica - 31 October 2009 |
Jorge Jesus defended that Luisão's goal should have stood and stated it was perfectly legal.
"Benfica was much stronger the in the last 30 minutes of the first half and looked for the equalizer. And we got it through Luisão. The goal was clean, I have seen it already."
"I had a disadvantage of losing Cardozo, who is great inside the area. But everything is open still, we have a long way to go."
Luisão
"To win Benfica, apart from sweating a lot, the teams are helped by what goes on outside the pitch. We need to give merit to Braga because they won a great team and should celebrate."
"But we are still only at a third of the league."
"We reacted well after their goal but couldn't score. Our objective was to be top but there is still work to do. We have many games ahead of us and the leading the table did not happen today, but it will certainly happen in the future."
