What about this? Schjelderup shines, matches... Eusébio | OneFootball

Norway’s 2-1 extra-time defeat to England had a Benfica touch. Andreas Schjelderup, a Benfica winger, scored the Nordics’ only goal of the match. It was a superb strike that Jordan Pickford had absolutely no chance of saving.

.  Curiously, all of those players represented... Benfica. The first three players scored in the same competition: Eusébio, José Augusto and José Torres, at the 1966 World Cup in England.

Eusébio (four goals) and José Augusto scored against North Korea in the quarter-finals. The Black Panther scored again in the defeat to hosts England in the semi-finals (2-1) and in the third-place play-off against the Soviet Union. In that match, Torres also scored and secured the nation’s best-ever World Cup finish.

It then took 40 years for another goal by a Portuguese League player (and Benfica player) at that stage of the competition. In 2006, in the third-place play-off — which Portugal lost to the host nation, Germany —, Nuno Gomes made it 3-1.

Before Schjelderup, the last player to score had been Maxi Pereira. The full-back, who swapped the Eagles for Porto in the 2015/2016 season, scored in the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa against the Netherlands.
