AS Monaco almost achieved a great feat this Wednesday by getting the better of Benfica Lisbon in the 5e lifting of the Champions League. And this after having evolved numerically inferior for more than half an hour, Singo having seen red for a second very severe warning (58e).
At this point in the match, the score was tied – Pavlidis on the Portuguese side (48e) had responded to Ben Seghir’s opening score, from the first quarter of an hour at the conclusion of an admirable collective movement (13e) – and yet the Rock players were able to regain the ascendancy on the scoreboard.
Still in the Top 8 despite everything
Magassa immediately struck (2-1, 67e), allowing Monegasques to believe for a long time in a favorable outcome. Alas the Lisbonese made the difference in the money time, in the space of barely five minutes, rewarded in the air by Cabral (2-2, 84e) and Amdouni (2-3, 88e). After three successes and a draw, ASM recorded its first continental hiccup but remained clinging to the Top 8, synonymous with direct qualification for the round of 16 of the C1. Benfica for its part climbs to 14e
position, only one length from his victim of the day.
