In a focus match in the 10th round of the Portuguese Super League that ended on November 2, Benfica swept Guimarães 3-0 away from home. While winning three consecutive games in all competitions, they were undefeated in the first 10 rounds of the league, strongly retaining their hope of winning the championship.

In this game, Benfica encountered Guimarães' tenacious sniping in the away game and failed to score in the first half. However, the 62-year-old Mourinho once again showed his superb on-the-spot command ability. He changed two players in a row during the half-time break, which instantly changed the situation of the game.

In the 53rd minute, Lukbakio took a corner kick and Tomas Araujo scored with a header to help Benfica break the deadlock. Three minutes later, Blanco made a big move and kicked Barreiro. The referee directly showed a red card and sent off Benfica. Benfica gained the advantage of playing one more player.

In the 62nd minute, Barreiro, who came off the bench, assisted Dahl to expand the score to 2-0. In the 87th minute, Barrenecea pushed the ball from the front of the penalty area, causing Reyes to miss the ball. Rego followed up and scored. In the end, Benfica won 3-0 away from home.

After winning this game, Benfica achieved 3 consecutive victories in all competitions, scoring 11 goals in 3 games with rapid firepower and conceding 0 goals. In terms of the standings, Benfica has been unbeaten in the first 10 rounds of the league and ranks third with 24 points, only 1 point behind the leader Sporting CP. It can be said that Mourinho's appointment has reactivated Benfica and allowed it to return to the championship in the Portuguese Super League.

Next, Mourinho will lead his team to face Bayer Leverkusen at home in the Champions League. After three consecutive defeats at the start of the Champions League, whether Mourinho can lead the team to turn the tide is worthy of the outside world's expectations.
