Overview
- Benfica drew 1-1 at the Estádio da Luz, with Heorhiy Sudakov scoring late and André Luiz equalising in stoppage time.
- An André Silva goal was disallowed for an attacking foul following a referee and VAR review.
- José Mourinho accused referee Sergio Guelho of having "no personality" and said he dislikes "this new football" that cancels goals for minimal contact.
- He called the result "tremendously unfair," said Benfica "lost two points," and criticised Rio Ave's game management that he argued the referee allowed.
- Mourinho began his return with a 3-0 win over AVS and faces Gil Vicente next before a Champions League trip to Stamford Bridge.
