Match Report

Juventus took to lead in the 4th minute thanks to Arkadiusz Milik - who headed the ball into the bottom left corner after connecting with Leandro Paredes' set piece.

However, Juve gave a penalty away before the half-time break to let Benfica back into the game. It was Joao Mario who found the back of the net from the spot.

David Neres then added to Benfica's tally in the 55 minute by slotting the ball into the bottom left corner from the centre of the box.
