 Early in January 2003 , Benfica announced the signing of Brazilian midfielder Geovanni , on a loan deal from Barcelona until the end of the season . On 11 January , the team played Vitória Guimarães away . The 1 – 1 draw after 90 minutes was a consequence of the constant interruptions for a large number of fouls signalled by the referee . In the stands , the problematic behaviour of the Benfica supporters group No Name Boys caused the governing body of the Portuguese league to punish both clubs by closing their stadiums for one game each . On the following Sunday , Benfica visited the Estádio dos Barreiros for a game against Marítimo , which Benfica won 2 – 1 after an individual effort from Nuno Gomes in the 74th minute . It was the first win there since 1994 – 95 . After selecting the Estádio Municipal Dr. Alves Vieira in Torres Novas to replace Estádio da Luz , Benfica hosted Beira @-@ Mar on 26 January , winning 1 – 0 with a goal from Geovanni . Three days later , the team played the second friendly of the month after a 1 – 1 draw against Ajax a week before . During the game , intended to bring people to Da Luz , Benfica lost 0 – 1 to Barcelona .
