Champions League Recap
TUESDAY
Chelsea 1–0 Benfica
Jose Mourinho’s winless streak against his former club stretched to eight games as Chelsea edged past Benfica 1-0. The only goal came in the 18th minute via a Benfica own goal. Aside from that, the match offered little drama—apart from a costly red card for Chelsea’s summer signing João Pedro, who was dismissed after picking up two yellows.
