Benfica 0 Man Utd 1 Marcus Rashford 65

Full-time: Benfica 0-1 United

Job done for United thanks to preposterous goal, scored by Rashford with the aid of a sad misjudgement by Benfica’s 18-year-old goalkeeper, Mile Svilar. That was a suitably pitiful way to decide a dreary contest. At the final whistle, Lukaku spends several moments encouraging the young goalkeeper, who is a compatriot of his and perhaps could still go on to be a team-mate in the senior national team. If he does, he’ll remember Lukaku’s kindness. That’s classy from the big man.

 RED CARD! Luisao cops a second booking for lunging at McTominay after the youngster pounced on a ball that squirted out to him after Luisao had dispossessed Lukaku. So there’s another Champions League debutant who’s made a big impact today.

Half-time: Benfica 0-0 United

44 min: Augusto has a shot from 35 yards. Oh dear. That should be shot with an ‘i’. 

The scoreline is a fair reflection of the match so far. Neither side deserve to be in front. Svilar, Benfica’s 18-year-old European debutant of a goalkeeper, has barely been tested. Nether has De Gea. Champions League, you’re having a laugh.

GOAL! Benfica 0-1 United (Rashford 65)

Oh dear. That’s a nightmare for the young goalkeeper. In fairness to another youngster, Rashford exploited Svilar’s naivety well: having noticed that the keeper had got lost under the last few corners, the United player floated an in-swinging freekick towards the net ... and Svilar backpedalled so far that he didn’t catch it until it had already crossed the line. That’s a severe lesson for the 18-year-old.
 63 min: It’s scrappy. “If Benfica win this (I actually find the game fascinating) will Liverpool get the blame?” wonders Ian Copestake. Well, you have to admit that Henderson, Can and Wijnaldum are really strong...
 62 min: Rashford’s in-swinging corner from the left almost swings directly into the net! Svilar punches it over the bar - just about - when he could have got it.
