LISBON, Portugal — Manchester United took advantage of an embarrassing mistake by the youngest goalkeeper ever to play in the Champions League to beat Benfica 1-0 and maintain its three-point lead in Group A on Wednesday. He misjudged Rashford’s shot and couldn’t stop his momentum after stepping back toward the goal to make the catch. “Svilar is a great keeper with lots of quality who needs to learn and grow,” Benfica coach Rui Vitoria said. “I knew how good he was and I told the players how good he was,” United coach Jose Mourinho said. ——More AP Champions League coverage: https://apnews.com/tag/ChampionsLeague
