Benfica tried to focus their attacks down the middle. N. Vidlund gave the visitors the lead 22 minutes into the match to make it 0 - 1. The goal was scored from the penalty spot after a handball in the penalty area. At the 23 minute mark, it looked like the opportunity for Benfica to score had been missed until C. Costeiro suddenly worked his way clear and fired off a spectacular shot. The keeper had no chance! 0 - 2. After 26 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for R. Ferreira who increased Benfica's lead to 0 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of Benfica were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Benfica, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. R. Sepil received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 36 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The Benfica fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The referee signalled a penalty 37 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. N. Vidlund knocked it home to make the score 0 - 5. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 5. Benfica had most of the ball, with 80 percent of possession.

55 minutes into the game, Benfica were awarded a penalty and N. Vidlund was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 6 rolling the ball in by the right post. At that, N. Vidlund was noted down for a hat trick! The visitors added to their lead 63 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by Benfica's N. Vidlund slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 7. N. Vidlund could have added one to the visitors' lead if his free kick had gone just a little lower. After 67 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave L. San Millán Díez a chance to increase the lead for Benfica, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 8. After 74 minutes, Benfica's E. Vista burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 9. L. San Millán Díez seems to have an uncanny ability to try the unusual. He nearly produced a great goal - unfortunately for Benfica his shot went just wide this time. After 78 minutes, Benfica sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached E. Vista, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 10. Possession in this half belonged to Benfica, who controlled the ball 84 percent of the time.

sede's best player was C. Mendes. On the other hand, A. Cunha's play was disheartening. C. Green performed admirably for Benfica. L. San Millán Díez on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 10.
