The final goal was scored by Franjo Ivanovic, securing a convincing win for Benfica. This victory moved the team up to second place in the table, five points behind leaders Porto, who have played one more match.
Mourinho, who has previously coached Porto and other teams, celebrated the win enthusiastically, showing his excitement and energy. He will face Porto in the near future, within the next 15 days.
Mourinho's coaching experience spans multiple teams, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Inter Milan, where he achieved significant success. His most recent coaching position was at Fenerbahce, which he left in August.
Benfica made a change in leadership this week, replacing coach Bruno Lage after a loss to Qarabag in the Champions League. Mourinho was appointed as the new coach on Thursday, saying he is more experienced and dedicated now.
Mourinho's first tenure at Benfica lasted 11 games, but he is looking to make a stronger impact this time around.
Benfica fans are eager to see how Mourinho's return will shape the team's performance.
