Keeper's late goal sends Benfica through in Champions League 🎥 | OneFootball

Benfica experienced a magical night this Wednesday (28) to advance to the knockout stage of the Champions League.

Goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin scored the goal that secured the Portuguese club's qualification in the last moment of the match against Real Madrid, sealing the victory at 4-2.

Heading into injury time in the second half, the team led by José Mourinho needed a goal to climb the standings and be among the top 24 in the league phase table.

Benfica had a free kick in the attacking field and sent all their players, including the goalkeeper, into the offensive penalty area.

Aursnes' cross found Trubin's head, who headed it into the net, making Estádio da Luz erupt.

See the play below:

Trubin's heroic goal placed Benfica in the 24th position, the last among those qualified for the knockout stage.

The Portuguese club will compete in the playoff that grants a spot in the Champions League round of 16.

At the moment of the goal, Real Madrid had two players less on the field, due to the expulsions of Asensio and Rodrygo already in injury time of the second half.

For the Spanish club, the defeat is bitter as it made them drop out of the G8, which would have placed the team directly in the round of 16.
