In the 22nd minute, V. Pavlidis capitalized on a mistake by W. Szczesny, who had strayed out of the goal, and once again gave Benfica the advantage (2:1). Moreover, the Pole soon fouled an opponent in the penalty area, and V. Pavlidis accurately converted the awarded penalty – 3:1.

In the second half, the teams continued to exchange goals.

Initially, in the 64th minute, Raphinha narrowed the score when the ball kicked by Benfica goalkeeper Trubin hit his head (3:2).

In the 68th minute, R. Araujo poorly executed his play in a chaotic situation near the goal – 4:2.
