This Sunday, the Lisbon club easily defeated Moreirense (3-0). The Portuguese are expected this Thursday at the Vélodrome.
Marseille has been warned, Benfica will not come to make up the numbers. Winners of the first leg (2-1), the Lisbon team will meet at the Vélodrome this Thursday to play the quarter-final second leg of the Europa League. Unlike OM, who were exempt, the Portuguese had a championship match this weekend.
Schmidt’s men won easily, at home against Moreirense (3-0). An assured success in the first half with achievements from Kokcu (18th) and Araujo (45+1). In the second half, Rollheiser ensured his team’s victory by scoring one last goal (79th). Note that Di Maria and Rafa Silva, present on the bench, did not have to make their debut and will therefore be 100% to face OM.
