This was the line-up chosen by José António Camacho on last night's game against Naval 1º de Maio.

The game didn't start as expected, soon Naval began showing they wouldn't be an easy challenge with a high pressure being exerted on the first 15 minutes of the game.

At minute 23 Di María passes to Crístian Rodríguez, that in a frontal position outside the box shoots with no chance for the keeper, to the first goal of the night, he couldn't ask for a better start at the Luz.
After that Benfica dominated the game and at minute 35 appears Rui Costa, once again, with his magic. A great play between the whole team with good combinations, that started at Benfica's box finishing with a class move of Rui, deluding the defenders and giving a class touch to the net, second goal of the game and highest moment of the night.

On the second half Rodríguez had a great run on the left after a pass of Rui Costa and crossed to Nuno Gomes' head to make the third and last goal of the game, after a long time without scoring Nuno Gomes finally does it.

The game was going well for Benfica, Rui Costa was entertaining the fans not also with his fantastic abilities on the field but also he was entertaining the fans, jumping as they asked him.

At minute 75, Petit had an injury and was immediatly substituted, he won't make it to the Champions League game and will probably be out for about one month.

Petit, Di María and Cristian Rodríguez were subbed by Romeu Ribeiro, Fábio Coentrão and Nuno Assis, respectively.

Now, join forces to face the European Champion, AC Milan, on the first round of Champions League.
