21:44 GOAL Tottenham 1-3 Benfica (Luisao)
Former Brazilian international Luisao performing like a dead-eyed marksman. Benfica's goal comes from a Nicolas Gaitan free-kick wide on the left. Hugo Lloris parries a header and Luisao follows up, his low shot thundering into the corner.
21:41 SUBSTITUTION - Bentaleb for Sandro
21:41 YELLOW CARD - Vertonghen
21: 36 SUBSTITUTION - Rose for Walker
21: 35 SUBSTITUTION - Saldado for Kane
21:24 GOAL Tottenham 1-2 Benfica - Christian Eriksen
Harry Kane makes amends, embarking on a neat one-two near the edge of the box and earning his team a free-kick in the process. Up steps the ever-reliable Christian Eriksen and the Dane nonchalantly, brilliantly finds the top corner.
21:18 GOAL Tottenham 0-2 Benfica (Luisao)
Harry Kane is caught in possession by Ruben Amorim just yards from the edge of his own box and Benfica punish the young striker in the worst way possible. Amorim earns a corner for his team and, from that, Benfica score their second, with the unmarked Luisao heading home from close range.
HALF-TIME Tottenham 0-1 Benfica
20:34 GOAL Tottenham 0-1 Benfica - Rodrigo (29 mins)
A classy finish by Rodrigo. The Spaniard is set free down the right by Ruben Amorim, takes one touch with his left boot before deftly curling the ball beyond Hugo Lloris at the far post.
20:15 YELLOW CARD - Sandro
Christian Eriksen wastes a free-kick wide on the right, which puts his team on the backfoot and leaves Sandro with little option but to lunge at Miralem Sulejmani and the Brazilian earns a yellow card for his rash challenge.
