End of 2nd Half
90+3'
That's full time. United make it four wins out four, and they are likely already qualified for the knockout round. Poor old Mile Svilar lost it for the away side, but this time he wasn't to blame for the mistake.
90+1'
There will be three minutes of added time.
90'
Blind and Douglas both stretch for a ball, and Douglas's ribs thump into Blind's knee. A sore one for both, and they limp off for treatment.
87'
Salvio gets easily past Blind on the left, he slides to send in a cross, and Mkhitaryan turns it behind rather than take any risk at the back post.
84'
Blind leaves the ball for Rashford on the left. He cuts onto his right, and fires a surprising shot from a tight angle, driving it wide of goal.
81'
Benfica win a corner on the left, and Lukaku thunders it down to Rashford, but the striker can't wriggle free of Salvio on the halfway line.
78'
GOAL! Manchester United 2-0 Benfica. Blind scores - He fires a penalty down the middle of the goal, Svilar dives to his left, and that is it, settled.

A fluid passing move from United sees McTominay dart into the box and fire in a shot from a tight angle, but it's blocked quickly and away.
70'
Lukaku plays a one-two with Mkhitaryan as he runs into the box, but he shoots straight at the oncoming 'keeper, and is offside anyway.
69'
Salvio is booked for pulling back Mkhitaryan. Just 20 or so minutes left.

Bailly rolls a pass to Smalling, and Raul can steal in to take it off the two of them. He skips towards goal, and a last-second intervention from Smalling sends the shot crashing against the post and wide.

60'
Goncalves skips past Smalling with a nutmeg, drives into space and De Gea dives to his right to tip away a strong, low shot.
58'
A loose pass is seized on by Mata in space, in the left hand corner of the pitch, and he whips in a cross towards Lukaku which is well cut out and away by Benfica.
55'
Martial then runs into the box, turns onto his right, touches it to the byline and out of play. It was a mistake, and a frustrating one, so Lukaku tries to gee him up.
54'
Martial tries to flick a ball inside, but it bounces off a defender to his advantage down the line. Martial runs onto it, in space, and he flicks a left-foot volleyed cross behind the goal.
