A shock defeat at Boavista last weekend puts Benfica on their toes as they look to bounce back this weekend when they take on Estrela at Estádio da Luz.

It was a dramatic encounter at the Estádio do Bessa Século XXI in front of over 21,000 spectators. Di Maria opened the scoring for the visitors in the first half.

However, a five-star performance in the second half, including the 13th-minute goal in added time from Robert Bozenik, was enough to secure the win for the host.

Estrela are one of the newly promoted teams in the Portuguese league. They kickstarted the new season with a loss against Vitoria Guimaraes.

A tough test awaits them in their second league game.
