Qarabağ FK has become the first Azerbaijani side to win a Champions League main draw match after Benfica squandered a two-goal advantage, falling 3-2 at home to Qarabağ FK in their Champions League opener in Lisbon on Tuesday.
Oleksiy Kashchuk's late strike secured an historic comeback four minutes from time .
Benfica appeared to be in control early in the match, with Enzo Barrenechea opening the scoring in the sixth minute and Vangelis Pavlidis doubling the lead in the 16th minute. However, Qarabağ FK responded strongly. Leandro Andrade pulled one back in the 30th minute, and Camilo Durán leveled the score just after halftime.
With the match seemingly heading for a draw, Oleksiy Kashchuk's late goal in the 86th minute completed the comeback, giving Qarabağ FK a 3-2 victory at the Estádio da Luz.
The result marks a significant achievement for Qarabağ FK , who secured their first-ever win in the Champions League group stage. Benfica, who reached the last 16 last season, will need to regroup ahead of their upcoming matches.
This victory not only marks a significant achievement for Qarabağ FK but also earns them a €2.1 million performance bonus from UEFA.
