Benfica 0-2 Burnley: Vincent Kompany's side beat Portuguese champions in Lisbon after goals from youngster Owen Dodgson and Hjalmar Ekdal

Burnley picked up a shock pre-season victory in Lisbon on Tuesday against reigning Portuguese champions Benfica.

Vincent Kompany's side were playing their second friendly of their pre-season campaign, following their 2-0 defeat to Genk on Saturday.

Benfica had veteran Angel Di Maria and highly-rated striker Goncalo Ramos in their starting line-up, but it was Burnley who came away with the victory.

The visitors took the lead after 55 minutes when Owen Dodgson, who spent last season on loan at Rochdale, found the back of the net with an effort from just inside the box.
