Nigeria midfielder Ucheibe scores as SL Benfica thrash Torreense

Christy Ucheibe was on target in SL Benfica's 7-0 win over Torreense in Sunday's Portuguese Liga BPI Championship round opening fixture at Benfica Stadium.

The former Nigerian youth international has been superb for SL Benfica since she arrived in January 2020, netting thrice in all competitions, including the Portuguese League Cup final triumph.

After Wednesday's Portuguese Cup final defeat, the champions started well as Ana Vitoria's cross was headed in by Beatriz Cameirao for the opening goal after just three minutes.

Four minutes later, Cloe Lacasse's super header doubled the lead for the host thanks to an accurate cross from Cameirao, before Lucia Alves made it three off Vitoria's deflection in the 13th minute.
