Benfica, who won Europe’s premier club competition in 1961 and 1962, saw last season’s woes spill over into this term.Having seen the domestic league and Cup double go to Porto last term, Benfica missed a string of chances against PAOK in a one-sided first half as they enjoyed 72 percent of possession.

Rafa Silva pulled one back with a stoppage time header but it came too late to avoid an embarrassing defeat. Then, Luxembourg forward Gerson Rodrigues fired them ahead just after the break with a neat finish into the roof of the net, thanks to good work by Vitaliy Buyalskiy.
