- SL BENFICA 0-2 INTER (FULL TIME THOUGHTS)
- Benfica underwhelmed in every area today and Roger Schmidt's side now have a mountain to climb if they want that semi final spot. #UCL
- Inter Milan were clinical when they had the chance and look like they might make it to the semis. #UCL
- Benfica would definitely need to be tactically perfect in the second leg at the San Siro but Simone Inzaghi should be well aware that his side cannot relent despite their victory at the Estadio da Luz. #UCL
- Regardless of the scoreline, this was a boring match and failed to deliver as expected. #UCL
- Social Media Reactions to follow shortly...
- FULL TIME!! BENFICA 0-2 INTER. #UCL
- 90' 0-2: There will be four minutes of added time here. #UCL
- 88' 0-2: Benfica have pretty much lost this contest despite coming into this fixture as the slight favourites. Two minutes until stoppage time. A goal from the hosts would no doubt do their hopes a world of good #UCL
- 82' GOAL!! 0-2 INTER: Romelu Lukaku makes no mistake from the spot to double Inter's lead. #UCL
- 80' 0-1: VAR- Uh oh Inter could have a penalty here. #UCL
- 69' 0-1: Benfica still trail here, but they need to score as we approach the final 20 minutes of normal time. #UCL
- 64' 0-1: Inter have made three changes while Benfica have brought on David Neres. #UCL
- 57' 0-1: Rafa Silva (Benfica) wastes a golden opportunity inside the box by shooting straight into the back of an opponent when the goal was at his mercy. #UCL
- 51' GOAL!! BENFICA 0-1 INTER: Nicolo Barella heads home to open the scoring for Inter vs Benfica. Their first attempt on target in the game ends up inthe back of the net. #UCL
- 50' 0-0: Marcelo Brozovic sees yellow for a rash challenge on Rafa Silva. Still goalless though. #UCL
- 47' 0-0: Benfica have begun this second half with more urgency. #UCL
- SECOND HALF! Underway as Inter kick things off for us from right to left. Benfica 0-0 Inter. #UCL
- HALF TIME at the Estadio da Luz. BENFICA 0-0 INTER #UCL
)
- 42' 0-0: Three minutes until the 45, and this game has largely been short of exciting. Both sides perhaps showing each other too much respect. Onana has only had to make one save so far in the opening half for Inter. #UCL
- 37' 0-0: Approaching the 40th-minute mark and no goals still to report yet. Benfica have had 5 shots so far with 1 on target, while Inter have had 2 shots, none on target. #UCL
- 30' 0-0: Still a tight contest at the Estadio da Luz. Who will break the deadlock here? #UCL
