Lenglet sent off after 35 minutes in Benfica–Porto
Clément Lenglet received a red card at the 35-minute mark in Benfica’s clash vs FC Porto, L'Équipe reports.
Clément Lenglet, the French international defender at Benfica, was sent off after just 35 minutes in their clash against FC Porto on Sunday, according to L'Équipe.
The red card comes very early, forcing Benfica to adapt for the rest of the match at a point when they needed to be able to compete on equal terms.
Early red, uphill fight
With the dismissal happening so soon, Benfica will have to reorganize quickly to manage the game and limit how much the Porto side can take advantage of the numerical edge.
At the moment, the report doesn’t specify the subsequent ban or the exact nature of the incident—only that the expulsion was issued after 35 minutes, which immediately shaped the contest’s direction.
