The improbable did that too Benfica! Roger Schmidt’s side, despite taking the lead in Salzburg 2-0 from the first half, conceded in the 57th minute an elimination goal by Susic, but the epic heel in the 92′ of Cabral gave her the right to continue at Europa League and throw the “bulls” out of European continuity!
At the same time in Milan, Real Sociedad remained “standing” against the Inter and after that 0-0 topped the 4th group, leaving at 2nd place the “neratzuri”!

The Basques, however, almost found themselves in the 39′ back to the score when o Tsalchanoglou he threatened stepping into the area but Le Norman with a saving tackle caught up to him and blocked his way.
The Nerazzurri in the second half intensified their pressure and chased the goal that would have given them the lead but in 75′ “Meatsa” temporarily froze, when o Kubo found himself on the ground inside the area with the referee awarding a penalty which he eventually got back after the help of VAR.
The great opportunity for Inter was lost in the end of the match with Lautaro Martines to shoot and pass the ball out for the final 0-0.
