Benfica fans have given touching support to players who have suffered personal tragedy

Yesterday, Benfica triumphed at home against Portimonense (4:0), and after the match, a very touching moment occurred.

The fans of the Lisbon club expressed their support for two of the team's brightest talents, 20-year-old center-back Antonio Silva and central midfielder Joao Neves, with thunderous applause.

This month, Antonio Silva lost his grandmother, and last week Joao Neves' mother passed away due to cancer.

Silva played the entire match yesterday, while Neves was substituted in the 66th minute.

After 23 rounds, Benfica is leading the Portuguese championship. However, Sporting is trailing by 2 points and has one game in hand.
