Dunst sensitively chips the ball into the box, where Prašnikar can control the ball and again looks for the finish from a tight angle. Ucheibe intervenes again at the last moment and deflects for a corner. There is no danger with this.
29.
7:18 p.m
The German goalkeeper from Benfica had kept her team in the game, but she didn’t do a good job conceding a goal. Reuteler’s finish was neither particularly powerful nor very well placed. Nevertheless, the SGE leadership is of course absolutely fine.

Great for Eintracht Frankfurt, 1-0 by Géraldine Reuteler
The deserved leadership for Eintracht! Benfica has moved up a bit so that the SGE can counter. Freigang drives the ball forward and gives it into the free space on the right where Reuteler finishes on the edge of the penalty area. The ball is slightly deflected, Pauels is also still there, but this time he cannot prevent the impact.

21.
7:09 p.m

The subsequent one flies sharply into the penalty area to Freigang, who is able to head in but does not hit the ball. There was more to it.
13.
7:01 p.m
Slapstick in the Benfica penalty area: Ucheibe actually brings a long ball under control and shields it with Prašnikar behind him. The Nigerian waits for her goalkeeper to pick up the ball. Pauels, however, wants to solve it with her foot and shoots at her own teammate. However, the ball bounces from Ucheibe three meters past the corner into the goal.
12.
6:59 p.m
The offensive player appears to have injured herself in the fall and is holding her left rib. It doesn’t look like she can continue.

Eintracht is off to a completely different start here than in Lisbon. With the audience behind them, the Eagles are eager, press high and win a few balls in the early stages. Benfica is somewhat impressed.

6:49 p.m
And the first goal came from the hosts before the end of the first minute: Prašnikar gave it a flat shot in from the left side, where Freigang finished from around seven meters at the first post, but was no longer able to give it enough pressure. Pauls can easily pick up the ball.

6:47 p.m
Here we go, Karlund has released the game. Around 10,000 spectators were expected and at least they should have come. The Frankfurt fans in particular are already making their presence felt loudly.

Game start
18:43
The players are already entering the pitch and in a few minutes the game will begin with a bit of an “all or nothing” character – especially for Eintracht. The referee of the match is Frida Karlund from Denmark. Have fun!
6:36 p.m
Benfica coach Filipa Patão is making two changes to the first eleven compared to the duel at the Estádio da Luz eight days ago: Ana Seiça replaces Laís in defense, while Andreia Norton starts for Nycole Raysla on the left wing. Benfica should be a little more defensive than in the first leg. Star player Jésscia Silva is still missing with a muscle injury.
6:25 p.m
Despite the defeat, SGE coach Arnautis sees no reason to change his starting eleven compared to the first leg. But he rotated properly in the 4-0 win in Freiburg and brought on Acikgöz, Gräwe and Martinez for Hanshaw, Reuteler and Anyomi, who came in and contributed a goal. The trio returns to the starting lineup today.
6:15 p.m
In everyday league play, both teams were able to achieve sweeping victories last weekend. The SGE won confidently 4-0 against eighth-placed Freiburg and secured third place. Benfica showed no weaknesses against the defeated bottom team Vilaverdense and won 5-0. Filipa Patão’s team is still two points ahead of city rivals Sporting at the top of the BPI league table.
6:00 p.m
After the first leg last week, both teams will meet again within eight days. In Lisbon, the Portuguese deservedly won 1-0 in a hard-fought game and secured second place in Group A for the time being. Eintracht is likely to be all the more eager for revenge. In order to catch up with Benfica on points and maintain their chance of progressing, they urgently need a win today.
5:46 p.m
Welcome to matchday 4 of the Women’s Champions League! Eintracht Frankfurt will face Benfica Lisbon at Deutsche Bank Park today, kick-off is at 6:45 p.m.
