Enzo Fernandez had a dream official debut with the benfica. converted a great goal neither more nor less than in the premiere of the Champions League, the highest European club tournament. The former River midfielder joined the Portuguese team in early July, which bought 75% of the player’s money in exchange for ten million euros plus eight other variables.
The Portuguese side faced Champions League qualification, but avoided any surprises against Danes FC Midtjylland, who beat 4-1 in the first leg.
The Eagles coach, the German Roger Schmidt, decided that the Argentine would be the starter, as well as central scorer Nicola Otamendi, who was reprimanded – and did not disappoint. At 40 ‘of the first half, Enzo Fernandez transforms a real goal, from a still kick to a still ball.
How was it? Joao Mario executes a corner and the goal of the ball is at the edge of the area, there is the Argentine who hits the first ball with his right leg and places it on the goalkeeper’s post, which he can do little. 3-0, in a devastating first half hour for the Portuguese.
The match ended 4-1 in favor of Benfica, whose figure was Gonçalo Ramos, author of the other three goals. Pione Sisto shot one for FC Midtjylland.
