LISBON (Reuters) – Benfica’s Kerem Akturkoglu, Angel Di Maria, Alexander Bah and Orkun Kokcu scored in a 4-0 demolition of Atletico Madrid on Wednesday to start their Champions League campaign with two consecutive wins.
A mistake by Atletico’s defence helped Akturkoglu open the scoring in the 13th minute and another error ended with a penalty which Di Maria converted.
Bah extended Benfica’s lead with a header from a corner in the 75th minute and Kokcu completed the rout against Diego Simeone’s side from the penalty spot after Reinildo Mandava fouled substitute Zewki Amdouni.
