The Italian champions, champions of Europe seven times, had won their first two Serie A games and drawn two others, but were outplayed by the Portuguese side. Benfica took the lead in the 16th minute when Dodi Lukebakio scored a superb individual goal, and extended their advantage with a goal from Jakub Kaminski eight minutes after halftime. Sunderland, who have not competed in Europe since 1973, won their first European match in 53 years with a 1-0 victory over AZ Alkmaar at their Stadium of Light.

Lyon bounced back from their play-off loss to Fenerbahce with a 2-1 win over Anderlecht, while Bayer Leverkusen defeated Celje 2-0 in Germany.",
