Benfica made it to Ajax! The Lisbon “eagles” flew to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, scoring in one of the two opportunities he made in the match to go for eight (0-1), leaving out Ajax after the 2-2 of the first match.
The hero is Darwin Nounies who scored the winning goal-qualifier, with Vlachodimos making a solid appearance and Fertonhen, Otamendi “extinguishing” the terrible and terrible Ale who did not appear in the match.
The match
Excellent start with a good rhythm in the game, with Ajax in control and stepping on the opponent’s area, scoring with Ale just in the 7th minute but his goal did not count as Tadic was exposed who made the turn. Alvarez was promoted twice but his headers did not find a home, while Berghaus had the best phase of the match until the 26th minute with his shot through the area going out. Ten minutes later, Vlachodimos made a major operation on a shot by Berghaus, who was the most active football player of the home team with the 0-0 remaining until the final of the first part.
Same person in the replay, with Benfica playing full defensively, something unprecedented for itself and looking for bass and finding some phase through static hits or counterattacks. Tadic in the 49th minute did not find a target with the shot he attempted outside the area, with Benfica having its first phase in the 57th minute but Vertonghen did not find a home from a good point.
Fertonhen and Otamendi had “extinguished” Ale, who did not make… half phase, with Ajax threatening in the 62nd minute with Anthony’s head going a little out. Benfica defended with their fingernails and teeth, while in the 76th minute they came out in the quick counter and won a foul as a corner kick. Grimaldo executed it in the “heart” of the area with Nounies overtaking Onana who made a poor exit and freezing the “Amsterdam Arena” for 1-0.
The minutes passed, the referee had shown eight minutes delays and in fact Ajax had a full twenty minutes to find the goal, but he looked for it in an unorthodox way and experienced the stabbing defeat that sent her… home.
MVP: Who else: Darwin Nounies scored the only goal of the match, qualifying Benfica and sending Ajax home.
