A goal from Ronaldo Camará just one minute from the end allowed Benfica's under-19s to shoot Bayern (2-2) in Munich in the fifth match of Group E of the Youth League. A goal scored by a fifteen-year-old who allows the team of Renato Paiva to take advantage of the Bavarian team to fight for second place, but the fight for first place, which gives direct access in the round of 16, is already compromised. since in a league to three, the Portuguese team will not be the first.

We started with the group E. Ajax defeated AEK, also 8-1 on Tuesday, and remains at the top of the standings with 11 points, ahead of Benfica and Bayern, both with 8 points. On the last day, the Amsterdam team welcomes the Germans, while Benfica hosts the AEK. Thus, a victory over the Greeks will be enough to secure second place in Benfica, unless there is a bloodbath in Amsterdam. If the Germans win in Amsterdam, they will have to count to three, because the three candidates would add the eleven points, but in this case, given the rules in force, Benfica will never be ranked first. There is only one possibility for Benfica to be eliminated: if Bayern win in Amsterdam by 4-1, 5-2 or even 6-3.
Now let's get into the game. Renato Paiva's strong "children's" entrance, with a block well raised on the floor, is the first of many challenges for Bayern Munich. The Germans tried to play foot-to-foot, but they struggled to overcome the midfield line before Benfica put pressure on the zone's entrance.
Bayern had a very different team than their defeat in Seixal (0-3), with only five players reissued. Benfica, for its part, made three changes to this first match. With Jota injured, they faced Ronaldo Camará, the youngest on the field, with only fifteen players, Tiago Gouveia and Luís Lopes. Also note the presence of Umaro Embaló, out of a long injury, on the bench of substitutes.
The first minutes were marked by Benfica's high ball possession, which swapped the ball at will in almost two-thirds of the field, in front of a narrowed Bayern. Gonçalo Ramos, launched by Tiago Gouveia, created the first game opportunity, forcing Hoffmann to apply. Bayern responded with two consecutive opportunities, first with Franzke, then with Zylla, but it was Benfica who was leading.
The truth is that the Portuguese champion took the pressure closer to Hoffmann's goal and reached the goal before the interval, shortly after Gonçalo Ramos was at the head of the beam. At this point, Benfica's pressure was overwhelming and Bayern could not leave their area. Tiago Gouveia gets a good shot from the left, but the goalkeeper can not get the ball.
The interval came with Benfica to the advantage, but the second part was quite different. Bayern, who has nothing to lose, immediately climbed his block, allowing a much more open match. Benfica, cautious about this eventuality, prepared for quick transitions and had several opportunities to kill the match, highlighting Tiago Gouveia who appeared twice in the Bayern area and failed to score. .
At the time of the replacements, Benfica lost the defensive balance that showed up here and eventually accepted the tie in the 68th minute after a ball placed at the back of his defense. A superb pass from Styller to highlight the Dutchman Zirkzee who equalized the match. Benfica maintained their advantage in the direct confrontation with the Germans but, ten minutes from the end, they committed another defensive error and Bayern progressed to the scoreboard, this time with the protagonists reversed, Zirkzee serving Styller.
A bucket of cold water for Benfica who had controlled a large part of the match and who, at a glance after two mistakes, lost. Renato Paiva, who had already released Tiago Dantas and Tavares, has launched the last trump of the last moments of the game: Umaro Embaló, victim of a long injury. And it was even Umaro Embaló to cross, in the 89th minute, for the decisive goal of Ronaldo Camará. A draw that changed everything in the standings, Benfica standing out in second place, thanks to the direct confrontation within the Bavarian team. Benfica is still able to reach the last 16 games of this competition, but the road will experience a new barrage.
