Benfica – FC ST. Gallen

Benfica cruised to a 5‑0 victory at home, stretching their league run to five wins and a draw from six games and climbing to second place with 16 points, their goal tally now a staggering 21‑4. The Swiss side, FC St. Gallen, remain stuck near the bottom in 52nd spot, having gathered only six points from two wins and two defeats, and their defensive record of six goals conceded does little to mask the three‑goal deficit they now face. The result widened the gap between the two clubs this season, overturning the balance after each had previously taken a win in their head‑to‑head meetings. With the win, Benfica not only solidified their push for the title but also sent a clear message to the rest of the league about their attacking firepower.
