The outcome was utterly unexpected. At the end of a breathtaking match, SL Benfica secured their spot in the Champions League play-offs thanks to a last-gasp goal from their goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin. His strike in the 90+8th minute sealed a remarkable 4-2 victory.

An unreal scenario that turned the European night on its head. Just when stoppage time seemed to offer only a final glimmer of hope, a decisive free-kick found an unlikely hero, propelling Benfica further in the competition and shaking up the final group standings.

After the match, José Mourinho didn't hide his emotions when speaking to Canal+: "

After my last substitution, I'm told we need one more goal, but I can't make any more changes. Then there's this free kick, our goalkeeper is two meters tall and scores a historic goal for Benfica. Benfica and Real Madrid played two European finals 60 years ago, these are two legendary clubs, it's a huge honor."

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: Jose Mourinho was the one who asked Anatoliy Trubin to go forward for the last-minute set piece. Trubin scored and secured Benfica's Champions League KO spot. José Mourinho pulled the ultimate gamble, and it worked... THE SPECIAL ONE! ✨🌟
