Vinicius Jr scores as Real Madrid see off Benfica
UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid (3) 2 - 1 (1) Benfica FT
Vinicius Jr scored as Real Madrid secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with victory over Benfica at the Bernabeu.
The forward had been the centre of focus in the build-up to the game, having alleged he was racially abused by Gianluca Prestianni shortly after scoring the only goal in the first leg.
Prestianni was subsequently handed a one-match ban, meaning he missed Wednesday's return leg, while support was shown for Vinicius Jr by the home fans as a banner
