Soon after the match started, Benfica took the lead with their excellent attacking organization and precise shooting skills.

The goal not only set the stage for Benfica to win the game, but also greatly boosted the team's morale.

Despite being two goals down, Red Star Belgrade did not give up the resistance. They stepped up their offense at the start of the second half, trying to find a chance to get back into the game. Finally, in the 86th minute, their efforts were rewarded. N'Diaye sent a precise assist to Milsson, who calmly dribbled past a defender in the penalty area and shot the ball into the Benfica goal. The goal not only brought back a point for Red Star Belgrade, but also gave them hope to turn the game around.
Unfortunately, however, despite Red Star Belgrade's tenacity and excellent attacking ability in the final stages of the game, they were unable to equalize in the end. With two first-half goals, Benfica won their first UEFA Champions League group stage match away to Red Star Belgrade with a score of 2-1.
