PENALTY!
The screen finally loads, and Oliver doesn't take long to make his decision. Dumfries' cross hits Joao Mario's arm and it's deemed a penalty!

VAR CHECK
We're getting a VAR check on a potential handball in the box. Inter could get a spot-kick here!
Oliver is at the monitor, but the monitor is stuck on the UEFA logo.

SAVE!
Vlachodimos comes up big again, with a huge save to deny Dumfries.
The Inter player gets on the follow-up as well, but Morato blocks it with his foot from close range.

RAFA SILVA IS DOWN
He looks to be in a lot of pain after Gosens brings him down. Roger Schmidt isn't happy that there was no card and, on the touchline, he has a word with the fourth official.

NOT A FREE FLOWING GAME TONIGHT
Only three shots on target overall in the past 70 minutes. Expected from Inter, but we're seeing a more cautious side from Benfica today. So far, it hasn't paid off.

BENFICA ALMOST TIE IT UP
Joao Mario crosses the ball to Rafa Silva, who shoots. It's a weak shot however, and as Benfica players all try and poke it home, it's Bastoni who clears it away.

GOAL! BENFICA 0-1 INTER
INTER GET THE OPENER WITH BARELLA SCORING HIS SECOND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GOAL OF THE SEASON.
It's a cross from Bastoni, and Barella easily heads it home at the near post. Poor marking from Benfica there!

BENFICA ATTACK
Joao Mario crosses it in but Dimarco clears. Benfica are seemingly sticking to this plan of keeping wide and crossing it in, and it isn't working.
