Qarabağ FK Stuns Benfica in Historic UEFA Champions League Comeback
In a thrilling match at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, Qarabağ FK made history by securing their first-ever win in the UEFA Champions League group stage. The Azerbaijani team achieved this feat in a September 2021 match against Benfica, who reached the last 16 last season.
The match started promisingly for Benfica, with Enzo Barrenechea scoring the first goal in the 6th minute. Vangelis Pavlidis added a second for Benfica in the 16th minute, giving them a strong early lead. However, Qarabağ FK refused to be overwhelmed.
Leandro Andrade scored for Qarabağ FK in the 30th minute, setting the stage for a dramatic second half. Just after halftime, Camilo Durán leveled the score, igniting a historic comeback. The tension remained high as both teams battled for victory.
The decisive moment came in the 86th minute, when Oleksiy Kashchuk scored the winning goal for Qarabağ FK, sending the away team's supporters into ecstasy. The final score was 3-2 in favour of Qarabağ FK.
This victory not only marked a significant milestone for Qarabağ FK but also earned them a €2.1 million performance bonus from UEFA. Benfica, on the other hand, will need to regroup ahead of their upcoming matches, having suffered a disappointing defeat in their opening UEFA Champions League match.
In the end, Qarabağ FK's resilience and determination paid off, making this a match to remember in the annals of UEFA Champions League history. The Azerbaijani team's victory in Lisbon serves as a testament to their fighting spirit and the potential they possess in Europe's premier club competition.
