Chelsea won Benfica 1-0 on Tuesday on the second date of the Champions League. The only goal in Stamford Bridge was born unfortunate play that involved Colombian midfielder Richard Ríos, who diverted the ball against his own goal at minute 18.
The blues started the game with the control of the ball. However, the Eagles of Lisbon, led by José Mourinho, were planted with authority in London and came to have the clearest actions of the first minutes. A powerful shot of the Belgian Dodi Lukebakio crashed into the post.
Richard Ríos was also close to advancing Benfica. The Antioquia, newcomer to the Lisbon team in the last signing market, was encouraged with a left -footed shot within the area that demanded the intervention of goalkeeper Robert Sánchez.
However, the Colombian would be decisive on the scoreboard, but in the other area. A few minutes later, the Argentine Alejandro Garnacho overflowed on the left and sent a center that Ríos, in his attempt to clear, ended up pushing at the bottom of the network.
In the second half, the clear options were reduced and the game traveled more by half of the court than by the areas. When 13 minutes were missing for the end, Mourinho decided to refresh the spinal area and made three chain changes, one of them the entrance of Leandro Barreiro by Richard Ríos.
The Antioquia, a key piece in the midfield of the Colombian National Team, already adds 14 games with the Benfica shirt. He still does not register goals or assists with his new club. His autogol in London becomes a bitter episode within his adaptation process.
Chelsea, without shining in excess, took advantage of the rival error and stayed with a victory that allows him to maintain confidence and continue in the fight to advance in the Champions League. Benfica, meanwhile, must soon recover from the coup if you want to support your international aspirations.
