The return match will take place on February 18 in Lisbon.
Benfica beat Monaco away in the first match of the 1/16 Champions League final of the 2024/25 season. The match at the Louis II stadium in Monaco ended with a score of 0:1.
The Portuguese club scored the only goal in this match at the start of the second half – in the 48th minute, Greek striker Vangelis Pavlidis scored.
It should be noted that the French team spent almost the entire second half with a man down – in the 52nd minute, Al-Musarati earned a second yellow card and a sending-off.
Ukrainian goalkeeper of the “eagles” Anatoly Trubin spent the entire match on the field, made three saves and did not concede a single goal. Before the game, he ignored the Russian midfielder of the Monegasques, Aleksandr Golovin, when the players of both teams traditionally greeted each other.
