Benfica 1 Ajax 1: Onana goes from zero to hero

Some fine late saves saw Andre Onana redeem himself in Ajax's Champions League draw at Benfica.

Andre Onana atoned for an earlier mistake by making two superb late saves to help Ajax edge closer to the Champions League last 16 with a 1-1 draw at Benfica.

A victory would have been enough for the Eredivisie side to guarantee progression from Group E, but Erik ten Hag's men fell behind in the 29th minute when Jonas capitalised on Onana's calamitous error.

But with Jonas spurning a great opportunity to make it two, Benfica were punished midway through the second half when Dusan Tadic forced home from a tight angle.
