Benfica got their goal in the 13th minute. Gianluca Prestianni redirected Fredrik Aursnes' cross into the box to Andreas Schjelderup, who calmly placed his first-time finish inside the left post and past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer for a 1-0 lead.

Bayern dominated possession in the first half, but the German side struggled to create chances. Their best moment of the opening period came in the 44th minute when Serge Gnabry played a cutback pass through the box to Leroy Sane, but the winger blasted his first-time strike well off target.

Vincent Kompany made three changes at the break to energize his attack, bringing on Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich, and the impact was immediate for Bayern.

In the 51st minute, they forced Trubin into consecutive saves on Sane's breakaway and Thomas Muller's strike from inside the area.

Benfica coach Roger Schmidt countered by inserting midfielder Orkun Kokcu and Kerem Akturkoglu, and the substitutions nearly paid off instantly when Akturkoglu's deft first touch around Dayot Upamecano allowed him to unleash a close-range strike to force a tough Neuer save.

Bayern appeared to achieve their breakthrough in the 61st minute when Kimmich fired a left-footed strike inside Trubin's left post, but Kane was offside to cancel the goal.

The Bundesliga champions kept applying pressure. In the 75th minute, Olise's cross had Benfica scrambling to clear the ball, and it fell to Aleksandar Pavlovic, whose left-footed strike was kept out by Trubin's legs.

In the 87th minute, Trubin alertly came out of his goal to stop Sane again on a breakaway to keep a clean sheet for the Portuguese side as they take their place in the knockout stage.
