Santa Clara might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Benfica proved too strong as Santa slumped to a 0-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio de São Miguel. Midfield player Lincoln was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.0/10. Lincoln hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and had 21 successful passes (of 23 total). Santa lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above.
