Key moments

85'3 - 1The ball rebounds and arrives at the feet of Raul De Tomas (Benfica) just outside the box. He doesn't think twice and fires a magnificent shot into the top left corner. His attempt was beyond the reach of Andrey Lunev, so the score changes to 3:1.

78'3 - 0Sardar Azmoun (Zenit St Petersburg) bursts into the box after a great solo run and gets one-on-one with the keeper, who he neatly side steps and rolls the ball into an empty net. Wonderful effort!

71'Referee Carlos Del Cerro takes one last look at the VAR monitor and decides that the goal stands! The Zenit players go wild in celebration.

71'The Zenit players celebrate the goal but the referee immediately signals a VAR review. Let's see what happens. Big moment in the game.

70'2 - 0It's an own goal! A pitiful moment for Ruben Dias (Benfica), who tries to clear a cross into the six-yard box but instead sends the ball behind his own keeper. The score is 2:0.

22'1 - 0Artem Dzyuba (Zenit St Petersburg) with a wonderful piece of finishing. He makes a yard for himself after a well-taken pass inside the box and nets into the bottom right corner.
