Career

Born in Lisbon, Cardoso joined Benfica in 1930, making his debut on 26 October, against Belenenses.[1] In his first year, he won the Campeonato de Portugal with Benfica, but the majority of his matches and goals were in the Campeonato de Lisboa.[2][3] In his first years, he faced competition from Augusto Dinis and Vítor Silva, so his playing time was reduced and mainly spent in the Campeonato de Lisboa.[4] Later, it was Valadas, Rogério and Carlos Torres, who beat him to the first team, so Cardoso played only sporadically over the course of his eight–years spell at Benfica, racking 23 goals in 62 appearances.[5][6][7][1]
