Eduardo SALVIO assisted and scored for Benfica in their 4-0 win against Derby County.
SALVIO scored Benfica’s fourth goal in their 4-0 win in the Algarve Cup against English club Derby County. SALVIO assisted the third goal and scored the fourth (a great run accross the area and a tap in finish) to seal Benfica’s victory.
SALVIO also had this little piece of trickery in the match.

The Argentina Olympic Team have landed in the United States.
The team have landed and are currently in Boca Raton, Florida preparing for their friendly matches against Colombia and Haiti. The team already trained on Monday, doing light work. At the end of the training session, the team was greeted by 1986 World Cup winner Oscar GARRE.
They are staying at the Renaissance Hotel in Boca Raton.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Apparently, Jorge BURRUCHAGA and Nery PUMPIDO (both from the 1986 World Cup winning team) are being considered for the Argentina coaching job. There seems to be a weird obsession within the AFA and the 1986 team (hiring back-to-back coaches in Diego MARADONA and Sergio BATISTA) and now these names surfacing.
From the initial names being rumored of Jorge SAMPAOLI, Marcelo BIELSA and Diego SIMEONE to BURRUCHAGA and PUMPIDO. While there was some hope of one of the first three taking the job (as small as those hopes were), we went from those names back to the 1986 generation.
