Match Recap
Benfica didn't just win in Nicosia, they put on a clinic. Vangelis Pavlidis, Fredrik Aursnes and Gianluca Prestianni all found the net after the break to turn a tight first half into a 4-1 rout, as the Portuguese side ran away with it in the Europa League. Loïc Nego had set the tone early, poking Benfica ahead in the 14th minute, and even Andronikos Kakoullis' leveler for Omonia Nicosia right before halftime only delayed the inevitable. From the 49th minute on, this was one-way traffic, with Pavlidis, Aursnes and Prestianni combining for three goals in the second half alone. Both sides came in level on points and unbeaten through two games, but only one of them leaves with that record intact. For Omonia, a promising European night unraveled fast once Benfica found their rhythm. Five goals, four different scorers, and a statement result for the Portuguese giants. Watch how Pavlidis' 49th-minute strike cracked the game open and set up Benfica's late flurry in the highlights below.
