In the game without history, Lyon showed the certificate number 1 rating UEFA and applied the fifth table to Benfica in Seixal in the Champions League Group D Round 5 game.
The French national team scored in the first minute of the game, showing what was happening. Benfica have always had difficulty getting the ball due to the high pressure from Lyon.
Goals began to appear, not surprisingly, as a result of the obvious superiority of the Gallic team, which, I must say, is a pleasure to watch them play. The speed, dynamics, mutual understanding, positions, arguments were worth it.
Recall that Benfica, having made their debut on these trips, despite a difficult result, never gave up in search of an honorable goal, but without practical results, and both times they managed to achieve the goal in the custody of Christian Endler, unsuccessfully. Danger.
This result excludes Benfica from qualifying and the qualified teams are Bayern Munich and Lyon. In the 6th and final round, the Eagles face Bayern Munich on the 15th of the month, with Lyon receiving Hacken just to keep up with the schedule.
