Report

Nederlands:
De laatste zaterdagwedstrijd op veld 1 ging tussen Benfica SL en Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC. Benfica moest winnen om aan te haken bij de top-4.
De eerste minuten van de wedstrijd ging het gelijk op en kregen beide teams enkele kansen. Na 5 minuten spelen werd het 1-0 voor Benfica door een goal van Kevin Pinto. Direct daarna was er een naast het doel.

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC voelde de druk dat het iets moest doen in de wedstrijd en probeerde via goed positiespel de bal naar de andere kant te brengen. Tot echt gerichte kansen kwam het echter niet en het was wachten tot Benfica onder de druk kon uitvoetballen. Dat lukte aardig.

In de 17e minuut was het wederom raak voor Benfica, Franciso Couto zette de Portugese ploeg op een 2-0 voorsprong, wat ook direct de ruststand was.
Na ongeveer 25 minuten spelen kwam een mooie pass aan bij João Pedro Gonçalves. Die ging om de keeper heen, maar daardoor werd de hoek te moeilijk om te schieten. Een ploeggenoot werd in de gelegenheid gesteld om te schieten, maar ook hij faalde, waarmee de stand 2-0 in het voordeel van Benfica bleef.
De Zuid-Koreanen konden daar aanvallend weinig tegenin brengen. Het was Benfica dat via Sandro Santo de keeper in de korte hoek probeerde te verschalken. Dat lukte niet, maar uit de daaropvolgende corner wist Santo alsnog de 3-0 binnen te koppen.

Even later was het Jair Monteiro die een uitgelezen kans kreeg om de stand op 4-0 te zetten, maar zijn inzet belandde op het dak van het doel. Kort voor tijd probeerde Duarte Soares Eduardo Fernandes in staat te stellen om te scoren, maar hij kon zijn ploeggenoot net niet bereiken.
Omdat ook Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors niet meer tot scoren kwam eindigde de wedstrijd in een 3-0 overwinning voor Benfica, waardoor beide teams de groepsfase met 6 punten afsloten en het bovenin een zeer spannende strijd wordt voor de plaatsen in de halve finales.

English:
The final Saturday match on field 1 was between Benfica SL and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC. Benfica needed a win to stay in contention for the top 4.

The first few minutes of the match were evenly contested, with both teams creating a few chances. After 5 minutes, Benfica took the lead with a goal from Kevin Pinto. Immediately after, another chance went just wide.

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC felt the pressure to make something happen and tried to move the ball forward with good positional play. However, they couldn't create any real chances, and it was only a matter of time before Benfica could play their way out of the pressure. They did so effectively.

In the 17th minute, Benfica struck again, with Francisco Couto putting the Portuguese team 2-0 up, which remained the score at halftime.

After about 25 minutes of play, a beautiful pass found João Pedro Gonçalves. He rounded the keeper, but the angle was too tight for a shot. A teammate was set up for a shot, but he also missed, leaving the score at 2-0 in Benfica's favor.

The South Koreans struggled to mount an offensive response. Benfica, however, continued to press, with Sandro Santo attempting to beat the keeper at the near post. Although that effort was unsuccessful, Santo managed to head in the resulting corner to make it 3-0.

Soon after, Jair Monteiro had a golden opportunity to extend the lead to 4-0, but his shot landed on the roof of the net. Shortly before the end, Duarte Soares tried to set up Eduardo Fernandes for a goal, but he couldn't quite reach his teammate.

As Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors failed to find the net, the match ended in a 3-0 victory for Benfica, leaving both teams with 6 points in the group stage and setting up a highly competitive race for the semifinal spots.
