Benfica and Alvaro Fernandez Carreras secured a 3-1 win at home to Braga which took them within four points of Sporting Lisbon at the top of the Liga Portugal.<\/p>\n

The Eagles dominated the game as they had 22 shots to the away side’s 11 and enjoyed a comfortable 62% of the possession.<\/p>\n

The Lisbon side got off to a poor start and they conceded the opener in the 28th minute of play when Ricardo Horta fired home for the visitors.<\/p>\n

However, the home side sprung into life in the last 20 minutes, scoring three goals to secure the victory and keep their slim chances of the title alive.<\/p>\n

The United loanee Carreras, after impressing massively last time out and scoring his first senior goal<\/a>, entered the field of play after 52 minutes and played his part in his side’s recovery.<\/p>\n

Benfica levelled the game with a fine finish from Marcos Leonardo before taking the lead in the 84th minute after a swift attacking move ended with David Neres heading home.<\/p>\n

There was still time in stoppage time for Leonardo to bundle in his second goal of the game.<\/p>\n

Carreras was given a score of 6.5<\/a> on Sofascore for his 38 minutes of action.<\/p>\n

With his side chasing the game, he was not required to defend much but what he had to do, he did well.<\/p>\n

Carreras made one interception and two successful tackles.<\/p>\n

As he often does, the United academy player contributed offensively with 38 touches and an impressive passing accuracy of 84%.<\/p>\n

The 21 year old also won 100% of his aerial duels but was less successful on the ground, only coming out on top in 33% of his duels.<\/p>\n

The youngster did try and take the game to the visitors by showing off his dribbling skills but could only successfully complete one out of his four dribble attempts.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, it will have been a great experience for him to be part of such a comeback and sharing the left hand side with Angel Di Maria will surely benefit him immensely.<\/p>\n

With only three matches left in the season, he will be hoping for more opportunities before there is a decision <\/a>made on whether Benfica activate the option to buy or whether he returns to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
