Benfica took a big step on Wednesday, almost certainly for many, towards the Champions League by beating Dinamo kyiv 0-2 in Lodz (Poland), in the first leg of the playoffs. Gilberto and Gonçalo Ramos scored for the Lisbon team.

Benfica were very good, especially in the first half, when they scored their two goals. At minute 10, Gilberto, assisted by Joao Mario, advanced the team now led by Roger Schmidt in a great play, which started on the left and ended on the right and in which almost all attacking players of Da Luz’s team took part.
Benfica’s second goal came at 37′, work by Gonçalo Ramos, assisted by David Nereswho had a good meeting. It served as a culmination for the first part of which the people of Da Luz showed their superiorityplaying between the lines, which created a lot of problems for the Ukrainian team, which had to play in Lodz because of the war with the Russian invasion.
Dynamo kyiv improved in the second half and went up, looking to try to turn the game around, but Odysseas Vlachodimos, Benfica’s goalkeeper, has been successful on occasions there was a group led by Mircea Lucescu. Two of the most famous are Joao Mario and ex-Barcelonista Alejandro Grimaldo. The return will take place on Tuesday, August 23 in Lisbon. The league draw is on Thursday 25th.
