The surprise jumped when half an hour into the game the locals took the lead on the scoreboard through Schough. But the joy of the Swedish team did not last long, since after seven minutes Lacasse equalized the contest and, three minutes after the tie, the same player turned the score around and put the victory on track for Benfica.
The second half began in the best possible way for the visiting team, since they extended their lead with the third, the work of Raysla two minutes after the restart. Benfica went on to dominate the match and had several chances to increase the score, and even a target was annulled in the final stretch of the match. In addition, Lucía Alves sent a shot to the post.
Finally, the team from the city of Lisbon added three points that put them squarely in the fight for second place. This forces Bayern to give the machada at home and beat an incontestable Barça that adds nine points out of a possible nine, has scored 16 goals and has only conceded one.
