00:05They're on the way in Lisbon with Benteke playing right to left in this first half in their traditional white
00:12colours.
00:17That's now for a goal kick.
00:23There's Pavlidis.
00:25Cristiani in support.
00:29Cristiani quickly pass for Evkovic.
00:32And there's Schilder aboard, great save. Rafa on the rebound as the post should have scored.
00:42Schilder up again, and Dahl across to the back post just too high for Pereira.
00:48Offender, what a chance this was. Good save initially.
00:52You would have, Dahl.
00:55Goes short.
00:57Oh, too well worked corner.
00:58Prestiani towards the back post.
01:01Guerrero got his head to the keeper, should have caught that, really.
01:05The young goalkeeper, Olivier Zicke.
01:08He didn't manage to hold that one either.
01:11Eventually it's a hugely popular figure with the Benfica fans.
01:21And Barrera went for the spectacular bicycle kick, didn't quite come off, but Benfica still have it.
01:26Dahl, Pavlidis.
01:32Deep towards the back post.
01:33And there's Polina.
01:36His shot hit his own man.
01:41Lepropovich finds Noguera.
01:46That's Gonzalo Noguera.
01:49Camara.
01:53It's battling hard there, Camara finds Mendez.
01:56Dangerous cross here, and that was a chance.
01:59Miguel Noguera just took there.
02:01For the first time in the game, really.
02:09Polina.
02:12Shellder.
02:16This is Prestiani for Dahl.
02:19Nicely done by Dahl.
02:21Really nicely done by Dahl.
02:23Can he finish?
02:24Oh, what a goal!
02:28That is pure class from Samo Dahl.
02:35Beautiful movement.
02:37And what a finish in the end from the left back.
02:41A finish that any centre forward would be proud of.
02:45The goal has been coming.
02:48The pressure has been incessant.
02:51And now it's paid off.
02:58Dahl, who was on duty for Sweden during the international game against Romania.
03:04Comes back and comes back with a bang.
03:06What a goal.
03:07What a lovely return ball there from Pavlidis.
03:10And that is a finish and a half.
03:14From the left back.
03:17Midway through the first half.
03:19At the Estadio de Luzes.
03:21It's Benfica 1.
03:23Victoria 0.
03:25Samuel Dahl.
03:27Beautiful goal.
03:35Today's goal, much different.
03:37A beautifully crafted goal.
03:41How come Benfica looking for a second?
03:49Pavlidis, the low cross.
03:50Berrero with the flick.
03:51Oh, it's beyond the post.
03:53And out for another corner.
03:54Some panicky defending at the back from...
03:58There's Prestiani.
04:06Leaves it for Sheldarup.
04:11Pavlidis now.
04:13Pavlidis.
04:30He's done well.
04:33Cross with the outside of the boot from Mendes.
04:34He's done well.
04:41Cross with the outside of the boot from Mendes.
04:44A header from Cameron Harmon.
04:45Daniel Dahl in the 24th minute.
04:48A beautifully constructed goal.
04:50And a brilliantly taken one.
04:51By the left back.
04:54Rafa hit the crossbar.
04:55Scheldarup had a chance as well.
04:57It was mainly Benfica.
04:59But that man there, Dahl,
05:00is the man who separates the sides at half-time.
05:06And the second half is underway.
05:14And that's going to go all the way through to Simon Suarez.
05:19Sort of intensity from his players that we saw in the opening.
05:2320 minutes of the game.
05:2525 minutes.
05:26That's a lovely ball in behind for Pavlidis.
05:28And the shot from Pavlidis hits the side netting.
05:311-2 in the crowd.
05:33Four of his eight-league goals so far today.
05:36Pavlidis, do you feel the chances will come in this second half?
05:39Clement Longley.
05:43Scheldarup.
05:45Prestiani loves this sort of situation here.
05:47Prestiani, Scheldarup in support.
05:50And Prestiani's been fouled.
05:52It's going to be a free kick.
05:57Probably a little bit too wide in terms of the angle.
06:02Dahl is there as well.
06:05With Scheldarup to take it.
06:07Dorevkovic got his head to it.
06:10Camera just helped it on.
06:15And Prestiani has been penalised this time.
06:17For the foul on one of the officials who've made eyes in the back of their heads.
06:23And Salou sends the corner in.
06:25It's a good ball on the header.
06:26And over the top.
06:28For Ronald Jekupovic.
06:31And that was a chance.
06:32Just couldn't get over it enough.
06:35To keep it down.
06:38It was away with Norway and played in all four games against Denmark.
06:44A couple of games against Portugal and against Wales as well.
06:47And that's a lovely through ball here.
06:49Eccebeti in on goal.
06:51Chance for the substitute.
06:52And a good save by Ziyech.
07:06That's a very good stop by...
07:14Good battering in midfield by Eccebeti.
07:16This is a real chance here now for Prestiani.
07:18For 2-0!
07:19Oh!
07:20Over the top.
07:25Eccebeti to win it back initially.
07:29Padledis.
07:30Nice pass.
07:32And the shot just too high from Prestiani.
07:44Prestiani.
07:44Prestiani.
07:48Strato doesn't know which way he's going to go.
07:51Here's Sudikov.
07:52Edge of the area.
07:54Finds the net!
07:55The substitute, Georgi Sudikov.
07:58He's only on the field a matter of seconds.
08:01And he's got that vital second goal.
08:04An inspired substitution by Marco Silva.
08:09He was lurking, lurking on the edge of the area.
08:13Just waiting for that supply.
08:17And a fine finish from the Ukrainian international.
08:24Goal of the season.
08:30Prestiani.
08:31Just so hard to defend against in that situation.
08:35Eccebeti with the lay-off.
08:37And Sudikov.
08:40Clinical finish from inside the area.
08:44Benfica look to be on their way to three points now.
08:47Benfica.
08:48And it's Benfica too.
08:51Victoria nil.
08:57There's Luca Bacchio again.
09:03Still going Luca Bacchio into the area.
09:05Lovely footwork.
09:07It's going to be a corner.
09:08Just one defender too many.
09:09To Amadora.
09:17Here's Prestiani.
09:19Benfica looking for a third goal.
09:21Dahl.
09:23Somehow managed to get that cross in there.
09:26Samuel Dahl.
09:26It is.
09:27This replay might confirm whether they were right or wrong.
09:33I think it was the boot of Badevkovic.
09:34Ranmed off the weekend's games.
09:41Here's Duran.
09:46Duran!
09:46Good strike with the left foot.
09:48Just the wrong side of the post.
09:50Plenty of power in that shot.
10:04Looking for a bit more movement ahead of him.
10:06Mitrovic sends it out to Arcanjo.
10:17Ooh!
10:18It's off the upright.
10:20Just needed the nearest of touches.
10:30Canjo's corner kick.
10:31There's nobody there in black at the back post.
10:33And a chance for Benfica to come away.
10:36But the final whistle sounds at the Estadio deluge.
10:39It's a good win for Benfica in the end.
10:42Which moves them second in the table.
10:44Samuel Dahl there with a wonderful goal.
10:47Midway through the first half to open the scoring.
10:50And Georgi Sudikov.
10:56The End
10:59The End
