00:11the faces of both sets of players very much business Raul Asensio is back from suspension
00:18and he comes into the defense replacing Dean Housen he's been ruled out by a calf strain
00:27or from midfield Richard Rios will certainly play in a more holding midfield role
00:42so Madrid get the game underway all in red
00:47there's Dedic takes on the former Benfica player Alvaro Correras who gets his tackle right
00:53and gets the touch back up coming Benfica's way now
00:58Sheldarup trying to deliver he's kept it in and then he hits the side netting just got a little
01:05bit too much whip on that Sheldarup Rafa Silva gets past one toe poke attempt straight at Courtois
01:14Rip finding Vinicius Junior who's able to cut inside and able to get it back
01:21can't complete the finish and it's largely due to the challenge of Otamendi Vinicius Junior wants a penalty
01:31the verdict of
01:36the ball is coming Vinicius Junior's way but with a bit too much pace he liked the idea though
01:43Richard Rios wants it he's playing quite high up the field and it's a lovely layoff
01:46for Pavlidis Pavlidis across and Courtois makes the save first time but not second
01:53Rafa Silva is in the right place for Benfica and they've leveled the tie
02:03what a ball it was from Richard Rios
02:06Pavlidis kept his head
02:09Courtois in the first instance prevented the own goal
02:12he couldn't stop Schuermany
02:17Arda Goulair
02:19pulled back for Schuermany
02:22magnificent
02:32his first goal of the season
02:34his first ever goal in the Champions League
02:38and it's a really really important one for Real Madrid
02:44Benfica's euphoria has been
02:45to them again with
02:47Andrea Schelder up
02:48taking on Alexander-Arnold
02:51nobody there to put it over the line
02:53it looked a big chance
02:54might be another one coming
02:57Valverde
02:59Camavinga
03:00he's having a think about it
03:03straight at Trubin
03:06Vinicius Junior holds him off
03:07and sets off
03:10Vinicius Junior has a Rauscher
03:12plenty of room here for Devic
03:15delivery is stopped at source
03:17and he'll go behind for a corner
03:18yeah they do keep looking
03:20he's gonna have another go
03:22lifting it for Valverde
03:24and Gonzalo Garcia has a go
03:26and Arda Goulair follows in
03:32Real Madrid now have a real grip on the game and the tie
03:45and it's been disallowed
03:47go actually
03:53receiving high praise from Jose Mourinho afterwards
03:57Alexander-Arnold
04:00and the whistle goes before the ball comes in to Gonzalo Garcia who's just forced to
04:05busy as ever
04:08making decent progress
04:10what a good shot and a smart save
04:13Richard Rios must feel his luck right out this evening
04:21Schuermeni down and the whistle does go just as Benfica threatened to break
04:26and Schuermeni says to
04:28the right wing returning it to Valverde
04:32Arda Goulair
04:33big deflection wide
04:40step
04:41there's Aushness
04:42nicely taken on the turn by Rafa Silva
04:44and he turns again
04:46and he was snivelled
04:47which is he gonna go
04:48he's gonna go past Dedic is the answer
04:51there's Valverde
04:53came off Rios
04:56squirms
04:56mantra that fullbacks are taught
04:58what's the ball not the feet
04:59it sounds easy
05:00it's really not
05:00and now Vinicius Junior down
05:02grabbed at by Dedic
05:04in fact
05:04the referee's just indicated use of the arm with his elbow
05:08finally in from Trent Alexander-Arnold
05:10and that'll do it
05:12for the first half
05:13at the Bernabeu
05:15well it's as we were at the end of the first leg
05:17Rios and one
05:19never happened
05:20they were
05:20intent on buying Zinedine Zidane
05:22and that's where the money went
05:28Benfica
05:29Arda Goulair
05:30gets it out to Trent Alexander-Arnold
05:32who has the time
05:33and it was missed by Valverde
05:36a swing and a miss
05:39and that's what you get
05:40but not finishing in the top eight
05:42the reason they didn't was
05:43because of Benfica
05:47and now Nicolas Otamendi
05:49is gonna get the yellow card
05:50that I rather think
05:51we thought was
05:52decent
05:55up towards Rudiger
05:59in from Alexander-Arnold
06:01doesn't reach Rudiger
06:02just goes over the top
06:04where Aul Asensio
06:06got to the ball first
06:11past Alexander-Arnold
06:12and he gets through
06:13and Alexander-Arnold recovers
06:15to put it behind for a corner
06:20Valverde
06:22goes for the early one
06:23trying to catch Trubin out
06:25but he
06:26keeps his cool
06:27watches it land on the roof
06:30don't think it was
06:31room for manoeuvre there
06:32here's Trent Alexander-Arnold
06:34who cuts back in
06:35and goes back out
06:36and only just misses
06:38by a whisker
06:42oh he worked that brilliantly
06:43oh he did it's really good
06:46here's Trent Alexander-Arnold
06:49looking for Vinicius
06:50Jr. dispossessed
06:53might be a chance now
06:54it's Rafa Silva
06:57clip something
06:58top of bar
06:59glove of Courtois
07:00maybe a bit of both
07:01great effort
07:02oh it's a brilliant effort
07:04Vinicius Jr. just getting
07:05caught in possession
07:06the Madrid fans have sensed
07:08the danger
07:08they're cranking up
07:09the noise
07:10it's Richard Rios
07:11there is no danger
07:12at all from that
07:17Rudiger
07:19that's going to run away
07:20from Ardekula
07:21Benfica goal kick
07:28Pavlidis
07:28it's a lovely touch
07:29for Schilderup
07:31he's then tapped
07:32tapped by Valverde
07:34Benfica get the decision
07:36another one away
07:38Awishness tries to create
07:39something else
07:41deflected
07:42behind
07:42corner
07:43they keep on coming
07:44they've got to make
07:45one of these count
07:47they're really pushing
07:48aren't they
07:50Alexander-Arnold
07:51oh what a ball that is
07:52and running through
07:53onto it is Valverde
07:55behind
07:57good covering
07:58defending
07:58from Amarderic
08:01what a ball that is
08:03from Trent
08:05now they have to find
08:06that extra bit of
08:07attacking gear
08:07and guard against this
08:09it's Vinicius Junior
08:10and he scored
08:14he was always going to
08:15tonight wasn't he
08:21this time the celebrations
08:22are all about the smiles
08:24because that goal
08:26here's Dahl
08:29Schilderup
08:30gets the cross in
08:31oh brilliant attempt
08:33that deserved a goal
08:36right
08:38Ardegoula
08:42absolutely hammered that
08:47players with loads of potential
08:49but huge
08:56squeals in vain
08:57from Otamendi
08:58I don't think he even
08:59convinced himself
09:01pass wasn't played at the
09:03right time
09:03Carreras
09:08still going for more
09:09there could be further
09:11developments
09:11plenty of time
09:17another decision
09:19Sidney's going to take
09:20the free kick
09:20for Benfica
09:21and play it too close
09:22to Courtois
09:26and he's ruled to have
09:27been impeded
09:28as he went for that
09:29I think he was
09:30out
09:32support from Trent
09:33Alexander-Arnold
09:34here it comes
09:38flag started to go up
09:39the play will go on
09:40that's what Benfica want
09:41Richard Rios being held on
09:42to free kick
09:43yellow guard
09:51if he could get another
09:53whistle going their way
09:54but it can't be worked
09:55over to him
09:55it doesn't have to be
09:57because that is it
10:00and Real Madrid
10:01had a one goal lead
10:02from the first leg
10:03a week ago
