Henrique Pinto Machado (12 February 1926 – 21 January 2009) was a former Portuguese footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He was most known for his short three-year spell at Benfica, where he won the Portuguese Cup.
Career
[edit]Born in Alfarelos, Pinto Machado joined Benfica in 1946, making his debut on 24 November in a match against Porto.[1] He battled with Martins for the goalkeeper position, playing the majority of his 14 appearances in the Campeonato de Lisboa.[2] In his second season, the newly arrived Rogério Contreiras quickly overtook him in the pecking order, and Machado only played 11 games.[3][4]
In his last year at Benfica, he split the league appearances evenly with Contreiras, with each making 13.[5] Nonetheless, his single game in the Taça de Portugal on 8 May 1949, against Marítimo, was enough for him to gain honours for winning the cup.[6] He left Benfica to represent Naval for two seasons, moving to Mozambique afterwards.[7]
