00:01So a strange atmosphere for this first league fixture for Benfica up against
00:07Académico Viseu. Match day one of the new Liga Portugal season, it is the visitors
00:17who are attacking from left to right. Everton in goal for them, Ravinho at right
00:24back, he pumps one forward and the run here is Cian Kahneman, he wants a free
00:38kick and he gets one. Longley is a new arrival in Lisbon this season, just
00:49getting a little too close to Kahneman that time.
01:12That's a tester, sent in by Messi again and put behind by Leandro
01:18Barrero.
01:23Benfica last season finishing unbeaten in the league but they were third in the
01:29table despite that impressive record, too many draws, they were eight points
01:34behind Porto, two behind their city rivals Sporting in the end.
01:40Corner is a good one and good chance in the end for Ruben Pereira. Samuel Suarez in goal again.
01:47For Benfica instead of Anatoly Trubin.
01:51For Benfica instead of Anatoly Trubin.
01:54He's made his loan move to Burnley in England permanent for 24 million.
02:02There's a little behind the chair, things went out right.
02:07On it goes to Prestiani.
02:12Corner for the Eagles here.
02:18Prestiani won a first half penalty, scored a second half goal in the 6-1 win over
02:23for Hearts on Thursday.
02:30Sudikov goes again.
02:32Longley heads it.
02:33Oh, that's a good save from the keeper, still there for Pavlidis.
02:38Academico survives.
02:45Prestiani for Rafa, looking for the Greek striker Vangelis Pavlidis once again.
02:55World Cup star Sidney Cabral of Cape Verde.
02:59Well, he has moved on to Trabsonspor before his World Cup heroics.
03:07That wonder goal against Argentina.
03:16Sudikov just have Pavlidis waiting for a cross.
03:19Sudikov goes alone.
03:22And good defending in the end.
03:27Alejandro got the block in.
03:30Prestiani with the pass for Sudikov.
03:35And credit to the number 45, Mestanza.
03:38Did not give up the chase there.
03:45That was the Pavlidis header from close range.
03:49The first match in the top flight for a very long time.
03:55They've gone through serious financial difficulties over the years.
04:04Pavlidis took it early.
04:07Finished brilliantly.
04:09And Benfica lead.
04:1622 league goals last season for Vangelis Pavlidis.
04:21No fans inside the stadium to celebrate that one tonight.
04:27But they will have seen it on the big screens.
04:30And outside the ground.
04:37They are jumping for Joy.
04:40Or Prestiani.
04:43A simple ball over the top.
04:45Pavlidis had a quick look at the keeper.
04:47Saw that he was not quite set for the shot.
04:51And the volley was perfectly judged.
04:55What a start to the campaign it is.
04:57For Vangelis Pavlidis.
05:00Five in Europe already.
05:02One in the league inside ten minutes.
05:05Benfica won.
05:06Academic O'Neill.
05:20Haven't made too many moves in the transfer market.
05:24But he's new.
05:24Alone from the Greek side.
05:29Vesalaniki.
05:30For the season.
05:33That's his long throw.
05:34And the overhead was dramatic.
05:37But not a good connection from Guilherme that time.
05:42Returning Andre Silva.
05:44Scoring a penalty after nine minutes.
05:45Gabri Vega.
05:46Scoring a penalty.
05:49After 44 minutes in that victory.
05:52Over Alverka.
05:57This is promising.
06:00For Academico.
06:02Eventually, Kahneman had to turn back.
06:08No show away.
06:10Come again.
06:12And they strike the post this time.
06:34There's one.
06:36For Dal.
06:38The other way round, in fact, it was Dal to Prestiani.
06:42And there's Kahneman stepping in on Academico.
06:53Prestiani.
06:55Dummied the shot.
06:56Dummied another.
06:57And then cracked one off the post.
07:14Nothing but first place at Benfica is not good enough.
07:19Since claiming the title that year.
07:25I haven't claimed it since.
07:27It's Pavlidis.
07:29And it's very close to another goal.
07:45the winner.
07:47Carreira.
07:49Using Correa this time.
07:58And Lino forced backwards.
08:01Good play from Dal.
08:02Now it's Prestiani taking over.
08:04It's opening up.
08:04opening up for him. A few Benfica players guilty of just standing.
08:18Alvino forced backwards, good play from Dal, now it's Prestiani taking over, it's opening up for him.
08:27A few Benfica players guilty of just standing.
08:32Admiring that bit of play from Gianluca Prestiani instead of offering support.
08:38On to Olympiacos, then a long career in England. Hull City, Watford, Everton.
08:43And then Fulham, got them promoted.
08:48Finished 10th, 13th, 11th and 11th again in the English Premier League.
08:57Albino with the ball in, the header from Clovis is well off target.
09:10and Malfa.
09:13And Malfa.
09:26And Malfa.
09:28And Malfa.
09:30and Malfa.
09:36Tried to control it, he concedes a corner instead.
09:43That will be Benfica's fourth of the evening.
09:48Here's Stadio Deloos.
09:51Reminder the Benfica supporters locked out this evening
09:56as a result of a one-game ban imposed on the club.
10:07Krestiani, a deep cross towards Pavlidis.
10:11He should have done better there, he knows it.
10:24This is good play and Berenicea struggling to contain Messegem there.
10:30He did so in the end.
10:33Sudikov away for Benfica.
10:40Kanafa slips on through.
10:42It's Pavlidis!
10:43And it's Everton with the save.
10:50A part of the fact they've only got one goal.
11:10More and more prominent.
11:13Sulikov.
11:16Dal for Krestiani.
11:18Lots of red shirts in there.
11:20It's Gianluca Krestiani.
11:22Another good save.
11:24Bah with the volley.
11:25Another good block.
11:28And still, just one goal between the teams.
11:48And the pass rolled into Klovis.
11:50It's a good idea, but Akademiko unable to find the net.
11:56Zamora did hit the post for them, but Pavlidis scored after 10 minutes for Benfica.
12:01Silva's team had plenty.
12:07So what now, after 45 minutes of play, is strength.
12:17Akademiko, Bissu.
12:19Get the second half underway then.
12:21The promoted side are quitting themselves well, but needing some luck along the way to restrict Benfica to just one
12:29goal so far.
12:36And the players to the four, both hitting the woodwork, both having further chances to score.
12:46Pavlidis with the only goal in 10 minutes sent up by the Argentine.
12:51Prestiani, a cracking finish it was from the Greek striker.
12:55A good investment he was, signed from AZ.
13:12It's a nice pass through.
13:14It's a lovely touch on for Klovis.
13:16This is his moment.
13:17And it was the big moment too for Samuel Suárez.
13:21There's Klovis bursting through in the end.
13:25And Suárez getting down in time to push it behind.
13:47Oh, there's the equalizer.
13:51No fans to silence inside the ground, but they're quiet outside the ground now in Lisbon.
13:59So many opportunities for Benfica to add to their lead.
14:04Instead, it is Ruben Pereira, who has got the leveller for promoted Académico.
14:13The number eight, Canterman, getting a pat on the back as well.
14:17This was a very enticing delivery.
14:22Suárez was uncertain in goal.
14:26And the centre-back, Pereira, flicking that one home.
14:30And he got up well.
14:32In between Pavlidis and Bar.
14:37What a moment for him and his side.
14:39Benfica won.
14:40L'académico oficeo won.
14:49Plenty of time for the home team to get back in front.
14:56There's Prestiani.
15:17Prestiani into the area again.
15:20And into the net this time.
15:23What a goal from Gianluca Prestiani.
15:39Well, the fans outside the Stadium of Light.
15:46They're celebrating again.
15:48Prestiani lining up this game.
15:58Well, he took matters into his own hands.
16:02And finished in spectacular style.
16:06Everton would have seen it late.
16:09Prestiani away from Ravinho.
16:12No one got close to him after that.
16:14And he used the number 45, Mestanta, as a screen.
16:19The keeper.
16:22It was flat-footed.
16:25And Prestiani makes it 2-1 to Benfica.
16:37For three minutes.
16:46Here come Académico again.
16:49Kahneman wanted it on the edge of the area.
16:52And instead, the shot was wide from Joao Guilherme.
17:05Prestiani involved again here.
17:19I will be certain to go on the hunt for a third goal.
17:26Do I leave anything to chance?
17:29Académico, you say, won.
17:33And the opening weekend of the new Portuguese season.
17:41Robinho.
17:42That's a really good ball in and swept home superbly.
17:47Andre Clovis.
17:53Well, the Brazilian, a major reason why Académico are in the top flight.
17:5826 goals last season.
18:02And he has got a second equaler.
18:08Excellent ball in.
18:13And Clovis got himself free.
18:16Left to Raojo.
18:17And Alexander Baer couldn't get there for Benfica either.
18:22Really well-worked goal from the visitors' point of view.
18:25A poor one for Benfica to concede.
18:28It's 2-0 in Lisbon.
18:40Benfica will travel to Edinburgh and Scotland in midweek.
18:46And the second leg of that Europa League tie against Hearts.
18:51There's Prestiani.
18:56Alexander Baer.
18:58Go to Prestiani again.
19:00Super footwork.
19:01Dinks one to the back post.
19:03Sheldrup attacking it.
19:05And Robinho and his teammates claiming a foul.
19:08It will be a corner.
19:10And the Barrero.
19:13And the back here on for Rafa.
19:19A couple of big money signings from last season.
19:22Those two players.
19:24Here's Sheldrup.
19:27Passing option until Dahl arrived.
19:32And then Samuel Dahl fouling Robinho.
19:41More than Rennes and Gilles Vicente after that before the first big one away at Porto towards the end of
19:48September.
19:52There are options here for Prestiani from range.
20:02Everton.
20:03With a really good save.
20:08They're likely to do after that 6-1 victory in the first leg.
20:13They'll most likely face CSK Sofia in the Europa League playoff round.
20:18The Bulgarians winning 3-0 against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the first leg of their type last week.
20:34There's half a chance.
20:40Sheldrup.
20:43Rios.
20:45Setil.
20:47Adjusted his body well.
20:50That's a hand used there.
20:52Well, Academico don't get the decision on this occasion.
21:00Luka back here.
21:09Now for Sheldrup and back again.
21:12It's Samuel Dahl.
21:13It's Everton.
21:15He makes the block.
21:17And then reacts.
21:18And then clings on.
21:24He's a contender for player of the match.
21:27That's for sure.
21:28Here's Rios.
21:30Now Dedic.
21:32Luka back here.
21:36Was that another stunning save from Everton?
21:46The first home match will be against Santa Clara.
21:50Match day four.
21:51They're at home against Porto.
21:54Judging by this performance, they're a good addition to the top flight.
21:59They'll be competitive.
22:06Title-winning teams normally find a way to win, though.
22:11They normally score late on as well.
22:14And Fika want to win the title this year.
22:17Can they open with a victory?
22:19And a late goal in Lisbon.
22:26And Achea not happy.
22:30Luka back here.
22:33Oh, he tried to score.
22:35It's Sheldrup.
22:35He struck that beautifully.
22:39And Academico.
22:41That's still level for now.
22:44Sheldrup again.
22:46Was there a foul on Duran?
22:48Will this decision, a big one, go in Benfica's favour?
22:57To me, it looks like Duran was a little late onto that.
23:00And he maybe came through Ferreira.
23:05Ferreira stretching out Duran.
23:08I think he made contact with the ball in the end.
23:14Big decision from the referee.
23:16Now, was this over the line?
23:19No.
23:20That's conclusive.
23:21That is another brilliant reaction from Everton.
23:24And it probably clinches him the...
23:35Dedic.
23:37He's running across the field and has to go backwards.
23:41And Benfica...
23:42They led twice.
23:45They were pegged back twice.
23:47Just like last season.
23:49Unbeaten, but unsatisfied.
23:51Should've been here today...
23:54One, two, three, four, laver.
23:57One, two, three, four...
24:03Two, three, four, laver.

24:11you later. Turn into it later...
