- 90'+4'That will do it for our live coverage of this Champions League match between Benfica and AEK Athens. We hope you enjoyed following along, and will join us again soon!
- 90'+4'With the group stages now complete, Benfica will turn their attentions back to the Primeira Liga in which they will travel to face struggling Maritomo at the weekend. For AEK, they will hope to rebound from this disappointment with a win against Larissa whom they will play on Sunday in the Greek Superleague. For both sides, their Champions League campaigns have fallen short but, if they play like they did today, hopefully, we'll see them back sooner rather than later.
- 90'+4'FULL-TIME: Benfica 1-0 AEK Athens
- 90'+2'Cosic fouls Semedo in the defensive half, and it will be a free-kick for the hosts. That definitely had a hint of frustration behind it.
- 88'GOOALLLLL!!!! Grimaldo stepped up to the free-kick and hit it with equal parts curve and pace and buries it in the top-right corner! What an exquisite finish! That does feel so harsh on Barkas who had done everything he could to save his side a point but, you have to say, the goal was coming for Benfica. Benfica 1-0 AEK Athens
- 87'Not only has Galanopoulos cuased his side to be reduced to 10 men, but it has also given Benfica a free-kick from an incredibly dangerous position.
- 87'SECOND YELLOW! Galanopoulos pulled back Fernandes on the edge of the box and the referee sends him off!
- 86'Chygrynskiy does well to cut out a pass that would have otherwise found Seferovic just outside the box.
- 84'Cervi and Grimaldo try another one-two on the left but Bakakis rises to the challenge and kicks the ball off of a Benfica player to secure the throw-in for his side.
- 82'Galanopoulos mistimed his sliding challenge and caught the back leg of Cervi, sending the Argentinian flying. The AEK man is rightfully shown yellow.
- 88'
Goal3 - Alejandro GrimaldoGoal! Benfica 1, AEK Athens 0. Alejandro Grimaldo (Benfica) from a free kick with a left footed shot to the top right corner. - 87'Red Card25 - Konstantinos GalanopoulosSECOND YELLOW! Galanopoulos pulled back Fernandes on the edge of the box and the referee sends him off!
- 82'Yellow Card25 - Konstantinos GalanopoulosGalanopoulos mistimed his sliding challenge and caught the back leg of Cervi, sending the Argentinian flying. The AEK man is rightfully shown yellow.
- 77'Substitution - In12 - Rodrigo GaloSubstitution - Out39 - Erik MoránA change from AEK as well as Galo replaces Moran.
- 77'Substitution - In15 - Nicolás CastilloSubstitution - Out11 - João FélixNicolas Castillo will join the front line as Felix is taken off on 77 minutes.
- 73'Yellow Card3 - Niklas HultHult commits a foul just outside the box which both sees him shown a yellow card, but also gifts the hosts a gilt-edged free-kick opportunity.
- 68'Substitution - In20 - Petros MantalosSubstitution - Out9 - Lucas BoyéIt looks as though Mantalos will replace Boye out wide for AEK.
- 61'Substitution - In11 - Giannis GianniotasSubstitution - Out20 - Viktor KlonaridisKlonaridis, who looks taxed as he is withdrawn, is replaced by Gianniotas.
- 59'Substitution - In11 - Franco CerviSubstitution - Out21 - PizziFranco Cervi will come on with Pizzi making way.
- 37'Yellow Card4 - Rúben DiasPlay has been a bit disjointed since all of these injury incidents, and now there's another break as Dias goes through the back of Ponce, and the former is shown yellow for his troubles.
- 35'Substitution - In14 - Andrija ZivkovicSubstitution - Out27 - RafaRafa does indeed go off with Zivkovic coming on in his stead.
