he hit it fine. Was goal bound. Guy somehow got a block on it.

If I had to be critical of any moments there were a couple great runs he made where he got free but his touch was a bit sloppy.

taremi has been excellent this first half. He literally wins a foul with every touch he takes. The Benfica CBs are going insane.

rio on the other hand got a red card and are going back to their usual post covid shit. Would not be surprised if they lose now.

[Leicester City]

And Benfica score what’s most likely the winner. Good job Santos and Musrati on the red cards!

I feel sympathy for Rio Ave’s coach.

well taremi was brilliant. One of his best games this season. Practically won a free kick with each touch, great turns and link up play, great runs and good positioning for goal. He pressed and helped defend like a lion too.

Good game by Mehdi.
Not many chances, but he got his goal. Had some nice link-up play and was winning fouls nonstop. Now he's scored against the top sides in the league.

what? They have had some great performances this season, hence league position. Bad since coming back from break, but to be expected considering circumstances.

Today they have outplayed benfica in every aspect.

Taremi was excellent, his movement off the ball and pressing are really bothering the benfica CBs. his turn to get the free kick was brilliant and got a tap in header goal from it. Had one other clear chance that was going in until defender got a block on it.

Taremi is the bright spot. That a guy like Musrati can make this team is insane. Maybe their offense isn’t bad, but the defense is comical.

Taremi's mentions on Twitter (translated from Portuguese):

- But great props for Rio Ave of the teams that play better in our championship, that taremi gives me orgasms

- Taremi is the best striker in the league.

- What I realized from the game was that Taremi should be at Benfica

- Taremi vulgarized the Benfica center duo.

- Taremi manages to be better than Benfica's 3 strikers together

- Taremi is very good, with ball he decides almost always well and without it he works hard, offers the possibility of playing in frontal support or in depth

- Taremi is one of the best players in the league, authentic monster

- Taremi alone gives more work to defenses than marega, Soares, ze luis and aboubakar together

- But I think the taremi is more than a scorer has a lot of demarcation and technique

Very proud of what Taremi is doing for his career, he can only go up from here if he continues to stay in Europe and work hard!

Just goes to show how much a brotha from the hood can accomplish with just a little bit of opportunity.

Mehdi is my favorite Iranian player right now. He has lit up the league in his first year, is making a lot of noise, teams are looking out for him, and he is growing and learning every week. He has work to do to become a top striker, but he has grown a lot in this past season. Kudos to him.

This domination photo says it all. Bravo Mehdi!!!

They are actually among the best defensive teams, judging by the amount of goals conceded.
