Two goals in nine minutes from Werner earn RB Leipzig a vital three points on the road this evening. They make the perfect start to Group G, leaving Benfica rock bottom after the first round of fixtures. The two teams failed to impress in the first 45 minutes, but Werner brought the game to life with a powerful finish in the 69th minute. He then got his second thanks to a VAR ruling, before Seferovic grabbed a consolation goal.
90' + 2' Taarabt misses two chances in quick succession. The first a shot from the edge of the box and the second, a header from inside the box.
