(Benfica – Fulham)

(Date: 2nd August, 2024)

Benfica was the first warm-up ahead of the new season for Fulham.

But ahead of the trip to Portugal to visit Benfica at home, while the Fulham squad was yet to be complete, Coach Marco Silva presided over behind closed doors' games against QPR and Watford.

QPR and Watford were not really opponents to gauge the level of his team, but they served as the perfect foils to see the fitness levels of his players.

And it was safe to say that ahead of the trip to Portugal, Marco Silva was highly impressed by the fitness levels of a number of his players, most especially his favorite in recent times, Samuel Moses.

Fulham recorded a 4-0 trashing of QPR before drubbing Watford 6-1.

In both games, Sam impressed in the less than 60 minutes that he played as he chipped in with his fair share of goals and assists.
