The rout intensified after the break as Vangelis Pavlidis, assisted by Rafa, struck in the 47th minute and again two minutes later for his second. Leandro Barreiro then teed up Pavlidis for a third of his own in the 54th, making it 5-0, before Lawrence Ofori turned into his own net four minutes later.
Jhon Durán completed the scoring in the 61st minute, finishing off a pass from Alexander Bah to make it 7-0, and there was still time for Casa Pia's misery to deepen when Kaly was sent off deep into stoppage time. Benfica dominated every facet of the contest from start to finish.
The statistics laid bare the gulf between the teams, with Benfica enjoying 66 percent of possession and firing 19 shots to Casa Pia's two. The result lifted Marco Silva's side to fourth in the table, while Filipe Coelho's Casa Pia remained without a point after two matches.
Pavlidis was decisive with a hat-trick and an assist, earning the outstanding rating of 10.0 on the night.
Benfica's 3.02 expected goals figure reflected the sheer volume of clear chances they created against a shell-shocked Casa Pia defence.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Casa Pia 8%, the draw 17%, Benfica 75%. It finished Casa Pia 0–7 Benfica.
Benfica's rating gap outweighs Casa Pia's home ground — Benfica are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top makes it one-sided for Benfica. The draw at 17% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Benfica at 75%?
Benfica sit 515 points higher on our strength rating — 1497 to 2012. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge on the road won 65.8% of 5,180 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Casa Pia's column. Across 10,621 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018. The 300 most similar past games finished 8–14–78.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 75% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 17% and Casa Pia at 8%.
Why is the draw only 17%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 15.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,809. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Benfica average 16 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 515 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Casa Pia on 9 days' rest, Benfica on 4. Once class is accounted for, rest gaps stopped mattering — across 43,434 measured games no rest advantage repeated.
