Bjorn Meijer had an important share in the victory. The Dutchman gave a great pass fifteen minutes before the left, from which Romeo Vermant could score. Meijer participated in the European Championship with the Dutch Juniors this summer and then did not see a transfer to Feyenoord. The inspection caused doubts about his direct employability. In Austria he showed that the employability is fine, although he was still brought to the side in the 88th minute.

Benfica wins match with Nice in the third preliminary round Champions League

Benfica has won the away match against OGC Nice in the third preliminary round of the Champions League. The Portuguese top club was 2-0 too strong.

Franjo Ivanovic opened the score in the 53rd minute, after a measured cross from the right of former Feyenoorder Fredrik Aursnes. In the final phase, substitute Florentino doubled the lead. Benfica receives Nice on Tuesday in Lisbon. The winner about two games will take on Feyenoord or Fenerbahçe in the play-offs.

Benfica finished second in Portugal last season. The club sold Orkun Kökcü, former captain of Feyenoord, to Besiktas earlier this summer. OGC Nice was fourth in Ligue 1 last season. At the French club, Pablo Rosario (EX-PSV) is under contract. Rosario was on the reserve bench against Benfica on Wednesday.
