It was the 23rd minute of the meeting at Estadio Da Luz. Wilfred Singo made a nightmare mistake in playing the ball on its own half. Benfica players benefited from this. Vangelis Pavlidis played the ball deep into the penalty area, and there he found the best to acturkogl, who defeated Radosław Majecki with a clever shot. It was 1: 0 for Benfica and 2: 0 in a two -legged one, which was set by Adi Hutter's team against the wall.
The first meeting at Stade Louis II ended in winning 1: 0 Benfica after Vangelis Pavlidis's goal. Then Majecki was translated by the striker Benfica, for which he was scored by French journalists.

The Breel Embolo-Takumi Minamino duo came out in the attack.
Monaco's quick response to Benfica's goal. Majecki was checked several times
At the very beginning of the meeting, Majecki was checked by Leandro Barreiro and caught the ball in gloves. Later, for a long time, the Pole did not have the opportunity to intervene until he was defeated by acurkoglu in the 23rd minute. In the following minutes, Benfica rarely fired a shot at Majecki's goal, but she checked twice more Polish goalkeeper. In the 30th minute Fredrik Aursnes tried his hand, and nine minutes later – Andreas Schjelderup. In both situations, Majecki remained vigilant.
Monaco had at least a few opportunities to score – even after the attempts of Krepin Diatta, Elesse Ben Seghir and Breel Embolo. The latter had an excellent opportunity at the end of the first half, but he shot spectacularly. In the 32nd minute Embolo was closer to the goal because he hit the post. After a 0: 1 goal, Monaco revived significantly, because there were two goals to make up for the whole two.
Monaco caught his in the 33rd minute when Benfica made a mistake after throwing the ball from the car. Singo took the ball in half of his rival, and Embolo took Nicolas Otamendi on the back. Minamino used it, which surprised the trumbine with a shot at the closer post. So it was 1: 1.
Four goals after the break. Monaco was close to extra time
Monaco entered the second half. In the first situation, Trubin reacted well after the shot of Ben Seghira. In the 52nd minute, however, the Ukrainian was defeated. Embolo passed the ball in the penalty area of Benfica after playing Akliuche, and Ben Seghir gave Monaco lead in this meeting and a 2: 2 draw throughout the whole two.
After 60 minutes, Benfica began to come to the fore and tried to defeat Majecki with a distance shots. Zeki Amdouni and Orkup Kokuc tried their hand, while the Pole intervened well. In the 72nd minute, Thilo Kehrer, who fouled Fredrik Aursnes, stretched out a helpful hand to Benfica, and the judge pointed out a penalty after VAR.
Pavlidis approached the penalty. Majecki stayed in the middle of the goal, and Benfica's striker hit the left side of his goal. It was 2: 2, and this result promoted Benfica to the next phase Champions League. However, this condition lasted five minutes. Nicolas Otamendi lost the fight in the air with George Oilekhena on his own half. The ball flew under the armpit of the Trubin, and Oryknikhena enjoyed the goal at 3: 2 just a minute after entrance on the pitch.
However, there was not much time to consider whether there would be extra time in this match, because Benfica dealt the third blow. Alvaro Carreras crossed the ball into the penalty area of Monaco, and Kokcu perfectly entered the defensive line of his rivals, warned Majecki and scored a goal at 3: 3. Adi Hutter could only nervously throw a bottle into the ground, watching the situation on the tablet.
Monaco was no longer able to return to this competition. In the second minute of the added time of the game, the referee dictated the second penalty for the foul of Krepina Diatty on Samuel Dahlu, but after checking the situation at VAR-Z withdrew from this decision. Benfica persecuted to the very end and after a 3: 3 draw she celebrated promotion to the 1/8 final of the Champions League.
Benfica will play in the next round with Barcelona or Liverpool.
