00:00These sides met on match day five when Monaco led 2-1 with six minutes to go,
00:10only for Benfica to grab the spoils courtesy of two late goals.
00:15Champions in 1961 and 1962, the Portuguese side were attempting to win a third successive away game in the competition for the very first time.
00:26Mark Scott was watching.
00:30We meet again. Revenge in the mind of the Monaco men, while Benfica's mentality strengthened by success so late on.
00:42Carreras herring forwards and going for goal.
00:46Invited to advance and then let fly. Not a million miles away this.
00:51It's the first serious opening of the game.
00:53Aklijus trying to get things moving.
00:59And Aklijus goes through it and that's a terrific save.
01:02Lovely build-up play. It's a cracking strike and it's a top-draw save to keep Aklijus out.
01:10Kercu advancing and then upended and that's going to be a yellow card for Al Masrati.
01:22Taking his first start for Monaco this evening.
01:28Now, chase on here and he's through and has chipped it and has scored.
01:43He's at it again.
01:45Vangelis Pavlidis, his sixth goal in this season's Champions League has barely had an opportunity to speak of so far.
01:58But Benfica's run perfectly, then showed too much strength for Salisu here.
02:05Strength, determination and composure.
02:09And that is why he has been such a massive threat in this season's Champions League.
02:17It is a gorgeous finish.
02:19What's the response like from Monaco?
02:26Oh, Van der Sonne is making his way through and then going over.
02:32Monaco continuing to lobby the referee here.
02:36It will be a yellow card.
02:41And a second yellow card for Al Masrati.
02:44Well, it goes from bad to worse for Monaco here.
02:51And what a nightmare opening few minutes of this second half it has been.
02:57Motioning to say that it should be a yellow card.
03:00Gets you a yellow card.
03:02And in his situation, a second yellow, which means he's off.
03:10Pinged forwards for Sheldorov, who's come across to this left.
03:14Oh, Pavlidis should have scored.
03:17And he knows it.
03:19Straight at Majetski in the Monaco goal.
03:25Well, Benfica would have had one foot in the last 16 if this had come off the foot of Pavlidis with a bit more conviction.
