How the match went

Contrary to how the match was unfolding, it was Nacional who opened the scoring. At 15 minutes into the second half, after a defensive error by Benfica, Paulinho Bóia found Ramírez, who only had to tap it into the net.

After much effort, the equalizer finally came. At 44 minutes, Gianluca Prestianni fired a cross-shot and scored a beautiful goal. Shortly after, the comeback was complete. Schjelderup found Pavlidis in the six-yard box to score in stoppage time.
