Match Recap

Rafa Silva needed just six minutes to get Benfica moving, and by the final whistle Lech Poznan had been put firmly in their place in the Europa League. Gianluca Prestianni doubled the home side's lead after the break, and although Leo Bengtsson pulled one back for the Poles, Heorhii Sudakov settled it with a 90th-minute strike to make it 3-1. The result stretches Benfica's run to three wins out of three, lifting them to fourth with nine points, while Lech slide to 33rd with a single point from their opening games, a gulf in form that the scoreline only confirms. League top scorer K. Zachariassen, who leads the competition with eight goals, watched from elsewhere as none of Thursday's scorers cracked the top ten, but Benfica didn't need a marquee name to make the difference. Four goals, four different stories, and a last-gasp finish from Sudakov to cap it off. Watch how Benfica sealed it in stoppage time below.
