I think "injury" wasn't really it.
I found a stream at halftime - Belenenses were late coming back for the second half and it seems they did so under protest.
They had tip and just booted the ball up the pitch, at which point the same player went down injured.
So I guess that's why they returned with seven - to get the game abandoned.
I've sympathy for them though; it was ridiculous the game went ahead in the circumstances.
Crowd of 6000 at it. Vertonghen, Otamendi and Seferovic all starting for Benfica, who made five subs at halftime
