Report

Het eerste gedeelte van de wedstrijd had AS Monaco het overwicht. Vanuit het niets kwam SL Benfica op voorsprong. In het vervolg van de eerste helft, waren de spelers meer aan elkaar gewaagd.

De Monegasken probeerden na de hervatting wat ze konden en wisten een verdiende gelijkmaker te produceren. Kort daarna was het een prachtige goal van Benfica (lob van 20m), die de Portugezen weer op voorsprong zette. Hierin kwam geen verandering meer.

The first part of the match AS Monaco had the upper hand. Despite that it was SL Benfica who took the lead. After the goal the match became more balanced.

In the second half AS Monaco scored a deserved equalizer, immediately followed by a beautiful lob from 18m out by SL Benfica. This was also the end result (SL Benfica 2-1 AS Monaco)
