For the entire game both teams had played well. But Benfica’s team spirit was something special that day. Both the teams failed to score at the first half of the match.

The Coach of Benfica, Jorge Jesus said in the press conference at the end of the match that they tried to utilize the ball better after giving a lead of 2-0. As soon as one of the opponent players got red card. It should have become very easy for them and they should have scored many goals.

Both the team tried to play their best. The main difference between these two teams is their game plan. The Benfica played more rapidly than the Spartak Moksva. After the entrance of Oscar Cardozo the whole scenario changed completely. After that it was too difficult for the Spartak Moskva to fight back.

The sports fraternity and football lovers all over the world are waiting for the Bordeaux Vs Paris Saint-Germain match to be held this weekend. Paris Saint-Germain are the favourites to win the title but they are yet to find their form after starting the season poorly.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) put up a poor show during their last two matches on August 11 and last weekend. On August 11 PSG played poorly conceding a two goal lead to Lorient and had to come back from behind in order to get a point while their match against Ajaccio last weekend remained goalless and ended 0-0.
The Bordeaux club president Jean-Louis Triaud said “Paris will not take the results against Lorient and Ajaccio lightly; they will be looking to strike back. I have a firm belief that Paris will be champions when the season ends.”
Bordeaux are flying to Paris for the epic Sunday evening clash Vs PSG at the Parc des Princes. President Triaud said “We are very relaxed and will play freely as we have nothing to lose. I hope that all the players will put their best foot forward so that even if the outcome is not in our favour we will have no regrets.”
Bordeaux had a good last season and they are using the momentum well having acquired six points from their two games. Bordeaux finished fifth the previous season after winning the last 6 matches and got a chance to play in the European League play-off round.
Bordeaux recently won one of their six Ligue 1 titles. They have retained Cheikh Diabate and Yoan Gouffran, the top two goal scorers of the previous season and signed international Polish player Ludovic Obraniak in January. Obranaik is doing very well at the Stade Chaban Delmas and has scored two goals and set up one in the two league games this season.
PSG frontman Zlatin Ibrahimoviac who missed the match against Ajaccio could be missing in action on Sunday evening also. Ibrahimoviac is still suffering from the sore right foot which he acquired while scoring two goals against Lorient. Possibly Thiago Silva, the centre back from Brazil will make his debut in Sunday’s match while Ezequiel Lavezzi will sit out the encounter against Bordeaux as he was red carded last weekend.
Bordeaux drew 1-1 with PSG in both of their encounters at home and away in the previous season. They won 2-1 against PSG the year before in the capital and thus managed to complete a league double over PSG who are the favourites this season.
