The Benfica juniors have ended their run in the Dallas cup losing to Liverpool by the score of 2-1. Liverpool who had annihilated the competition up until this point(7-1,9-0,5-1) seemed to have found their match in Benfica, being able to defeat Benfica by the samallest of margins, in a game in which Benfica was called "a tricky side" on the Liverpool official site. That is all the info i could gather, in the meantime if any other information surfaces i will be sure to add to the post.
Details on the game
From the Dallas Morning News
Andras Simon took advantage of Benfica goalkeeper's bobble to score the first goal in the 35th minute.
But Benfica struck back in the second half. David Simao scored from 30 yards away in the 61st minute. Boti Demel almost did the same from outside the box a few minutes later, but his shot bounced off the right post.
Liverpool turned the game around late and became more aggressive on offense. Benfica couldn't hold Liverppol off, and Nememi escaped on the left side, setting up Flynn's winning goal.

Out of this tournament we have witnessed the emergence of Fellipe Bastos as a real promise. The Brazilian 18 year old, earned praises from Junior coach Joao Alves,who labeled Fellipe a real talent that can fight for a starting spot in the senior squad next year.
If you recall Fellipe Bastos joined Benfica last January but due to his 18th birthday falling on February 1st(one day after the deadline to sign players) has not been able to compete. Despite his young age, Bastos has been a permanent fixture in first team training and was even hailed as the future by Camacho. He has been characterized as a strong center mid, being able to play both a defensive and an offensive midfield position, with emphasis on his box-2-box qualities.
Also out of this tournament, is the confirmed emergence of David Simao, a player that is often called to the training squad, and has even been part of some game rosters this year.
