Report

English:

There was not a lot between both teams. Possession switched regularly, but neither the English, nor the Portugese side could create anything in the first half.

In the second half more of the same. Just when you thought the game would end in a goalless draw, there was Francisco Couto in the dying seconds. He came from the edge of the box and put in a shot, which Godwill Kukonki couldn't clear off the line. This was immediately the end of the match as SL Benfica took the win.

Nederlands:

Deze wedstrijd ging gelijk op. Het balbezit wisselde veelvuldig tussen beide teams, maar zodra de 16m in de buurt kwam, leek het te stokken. Het was danook geen wonder dat beide teams met een 0-0 stand gingen rusten.

In de tweede helft meer van hetzelfde. Veel garen, weinig wol. Net wanneer je aan een doelpuntloos gelijkspel dacht, was daar Francisco Couto, die in de allerlaatste seconde vanaf de linkerkant het strafschopgebied in dribbelde. Zijn schot kon door Godwill Kukonki niet van de lijn gered worden, waardoor het laatste schot van de wedstrijd ook direct de winnende treffer opleverde.
