00:09this first half in their traditional red and white colors
00:14beautiful day in Lisbon today still very warm 31 degrees
00:27the header is over the top from Berenicea
00:33Cristiani's delivery Berenicea just managed to get away from his opponent
00:46here's Braio
00:50Hernandez
00:51and the pressure there surrounded by three players it was actually Agustin Moreira
01:02Hernandez pointed to where he wanted to play it's a real chance it's a goal
01:07out of nothing G. Vicente take the lead
01:12the Spaniard Hector Hernandez with his third goal of the season
01:17and he present
01:19beautiful weight on the pass he's clearly onside
01:23and a very slick finish
01:25from the man from Las Palmas
01:29Benfica nil
01:31G. Bichette won only seven minutes on the clock a clever ball from Gilles Martins
01:36a very good finish from Hernandez
01:58and the only ball inside didn't quite find Barrero good battling by Prestiani though he's managed to keep it in
02:06play
02:08time to measure across all the head is over that was a great chance for Pavlidis
02:14to win the ball originally and then he had time to measure the cross
02:26Pavlidis will feel he should have scored there
02:42Pavlidis will feel he should have scored there
02:46Goal number seven of the season for Vangelis Pavlidis
02:52and Benfica
02:53Vangelis Pavlidis
02:56header away wasn't really good enough and what about that that's just pure class
03:04so many players would have blasted that off the goalkeeper instead
03:08a little dink into the net
03:17lovely goal for Pavlidis
03:20Benfica back in the game it's 1-1
03:37Cristiani picking up a nice little position there
03:40wriggled past a couple
03:41Sheldoruk
03:43goal bound but across the six yard box and out for
03:47a goal kick
03:59good shout there Sheldoruk
04:07short to Cristiani
04:08Longley was the target Hernandez was back to put it out for a corner
04:12chance here for Benfica to notch themselves ahead before the half-time break
04:28and the half-time whistle sounds an entertaining first half at the Estadio deluge a perfect start for Jiu Pichent
04:37with a goal
05:03big forty five minutes ahead as Benfica has been
05:08Mika do not want to drop points here, and...
05:18He bound it off, Rafa and Pavlidis squeezing one across the six-yard box.
05:26Buato is dying to get back onto the pitch,
05:28but the new protocols mean he's got another few seconds to wait.
05:32Schilderup...
05:35Oh, bounced off the crossbar there,
05:37I thought that was going out for a goal kick.
05:48I can't believe this couldn't turn it back into play.
05:51Sansa is on his jersey.
05:53Let's see.
06:00Buato is going to break here for Pavlidis!
06:02Oh, good save!
06:04Buca denying the Greek...
06:08Here is that chance...
06:10for Pavlidis.
06:16Good power in the...
06:19Dalas there as a left-footed option.
06:22I fancy it would be Schilderup.
06:27Just too high.
06:35Very difficult to...
06:40Echeverry...
06:41Buato is there to get it away,
06:43but only as far as Luka Pacquiao,
06:45this is good pressure from Benfica now.
06:49Another dangerous cross,
06:50claims for handball by some of the players,
06:53waved away by the referee.
06:54It's time to survive.
07:01Ball deflected up onto his arm.
07:03It's not a penalty.
07:10Jose Silva on for David Moreira as well.
07:21It's deflected towards the back post, a real chance as it came back across the six-yard box.
07:27Wonderful opportunity there.
07:33That's a clever free kick, finds Prestiani.
07:36Oh, it's off the crossbar, so close.
07:39He hammers the turf in frustration, but it's going to be a penalty.
07:44Orsnes has gone down.
07:48Prestiani shot such a good ball.
07:55Substitute...
07:58Tijani Toure with the clumsy challenge there on Orsnes.
08:04What a goal that would have been from Prestiani.
08:11Referee, you can see, no hesitation in pointing to the spot, Toure.
08:23And it's Pavlides versus Lukao.
08:26To potentially win it for Benfica.
08:32Back in the net!
08:33Benfica lead in the 87th minute.
08:37Pavlides, second goal of the game.
08:41Quite possibly the killer goal.
08:45Relief for Marco Silva.
08:48Relief for the Benfica fans.
08:51And a potential three points for the Eagles.
08:56Heading into that big game against Porto next weekend.
09:01Brilliantly taken penalty under huge pressure from Vangelis Pavlides from Toure.
09:08That is how you take a penalty kick.
09:13Brilliant finish.
09:16Benfica lead by two goals to one.

09:43defending to do here Toure looking to make up for? Getting
09:46away the penalty. Oh
09:47no, son, inside the area!
09:48And that's a brave piece of goalkeeping from Samuel Suarez.
09:55Here's Duran.
10:00Echeverdi.
10:01Prestiani.
10:03Looks dangerous every time he gets the ball.
10:05At the moment, Prestiani.
10:06And that's why!
10:12Brilliant!
10:14Absolutely brilliant!
10:16From Gianluca Prestiani.
10:19And that is the three points in the bag for Benfica.
10:25Magnificent finish.
10:34Well, he's looked dangerous throughout the game.
10:38He hit the crossbar in the passage of play that led to...
10:43all the evening.
10:46Just can't let him cut in on the right foot like this.
10:51Magnificent finish.
