Uefa Cup Benfica vs Molde[Norway] [R] Benfica with a 60 percent chance of moving in the next round, they will face Leiria opponent, Molde from Norway
Now it appears to be 3-0 Benfica in minute 55--shaping up to be a great result that could all but settle this tie.
Pretty good win, I think there's an excellent chance Benfica advances. I'm pissed about the late goal though. Seems they let up and allowed this loser team to get back in the tie. 3-0 is very different than 3-1. At 3-0, Molde would need to win the home leg 3-0 just to take the tie to penalties; but at 2-1 with the away goal, Molde need only win by 2-0 to win the tie outright. That said, I'd be very surprised if Benfica doesn't at least tie Molde in Norway and advance to the next round. I'm also encouraged by the pair of goals from Nuno Gomes; if he gets back on track, he could provide the spark Benfica needs to make a run in Europe this year.
2nd leg Benfica will be without Nuno Gomes Luisao Petit Geovanni Mantorras Benfica called B team Helio Pinto Guarda-redes: Moreira, Bossio; Defesas: Miguel, Hélder, Ricardo Rocha, Argel e Cristiano; Médios: Fernando Aguiar, Andersson, Tiago, Hélio Pinto, Alex, João Pereira, Roger e Zahovic; Avançados: Simão, Fehér e Sokota.
Stupid Scolari use him, on the game with Kuwaitt, when Camacho pleaded with him that he was still not 100 percent, he re-injured again.
Final: SL Benfica 2-0 Molde Benfica advances 5-1 on aggregate, thanks to a pair of first-half goals from Tiago. Good road win, especially given the tough conditions they were facing in Norway during November. Benfica look sharp and I like their chances to do some more damage in this competition.
