After a goalless first half, Benfica certainly were out of the blocks quickly in the second half, with an early goal from Rafa Silva in the 50th minute. They then scored again, pulling level thanks to a goal from Alex Grimaldo, 54 minutes in to give a final score of 2-0.
Substitutions for Benfica included Petar Musa, Fredrik Aursnes, Diogo Goncalves and Chiquinho for Goncalo Ramos, David Neres, Rafa Silva and Joao Mario, respectively.
