Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a fine save to keep out Fredrik Aursnes's deflected effort from distance as Benfica held their own. - Racism protocol -On the left of the area, with nothing else on, Vinicius curled a sumptuous effort into the top corner to put Madrid ahead. That sparked an exchange with Prestianni, who pulled his shirt over his mouth before seeming to say something to Vinicius. The official activated the racism protocol, and Vinicius sat in Madrid's dug-out, with the game on hold for several minutes. When it eventually resumed, Vinicius was jeered by Benfica supporters, and three times denied by Trubin in the minutes that followed.
