Lisabonos „Benfica“ continues to assert itself as one of the best European teams this season.
In the second leg of the quarterfinals, the team coached by Rogerio Schmidt beat „Club Brugge“ 5:1, and with a total score of 7:1, they advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals.
Early in the match, Joao Mario beautifully sent the ball into the goal, but after VAR review, the goal was disallowed. In the 38th minute, Rafa Silva finally scored for the hosts. Goncalo Ramos also scored before halftime.
The talented striker continued his momentum - in the 57th minute, he scored his third goal against the opponents' goal. Finally, J. Mario and David Neres added more goals after that.
In the 87th minute, Bjorn Meijer scored a consolation goal with a remarkable strike.
Last year, the Lisbon team also reached the Champions League quarterfinals, where they were eliminated after a battle with the „Liverpool“ team.
