Pizzi wins a throw in for Almeida down the right. Muller is across to clear the bouncing ball in the area.

Sanches is down and winded after being caught by Costa. Mostly because the Brazilian fell on him!

Ribery's scissor-kick from Costa's cross from the right hits Almeida and Benfica can clear. Applause from the home fans for the Frenchman's effort.
