Benfica Lisbon midfielder João Mario commented on his team's victory over Dynamo Kyiv (2:0) in the first match of the playoffs of the Champions League qualifying round, which took place last Wednesday in Lodz, Poland.
“We played a very good game. We could have scored one more goal in the first half, and that would have been a different result in the context of a two-match duel. And in general, we had enough chances to score more goals against Dynamo.
But even without this, I think we can congratulate our team. Good result. First of all, we played very well, in an organized manner. It was important not to concede here, on the opponent's field, and we achieved this. But now you have to give it your all in the second leg at Estadio da Luz to get into the Champions League group stage," João Mario said after the match against Dynamo.
