Benfica loses final match in Uefa
By: Carlos | December 18th, 2008Lisbon, Portugal – Benfica is now knocked out of the Uefa Cup with today’s 1-0 loss to Metalist. Benfica had no hope of making it through since they would have to beat their opponent by 8 gooals. They played with a sub-eleven squad to showcase players in a European stage and let them gain experience. They all played an overall good game and Cardozo had many chances to score with one shot ringing off the post in the second half. After that shot by Cardozo, Metalist counterattacked and was lucky to score and make the final score 1-0. Benfica finished last place with 1 point; an embarassing run in what was to be an easy top 3 finish for them!!!
