Benfica 5-2 Real Madrid

Benfica produce a convincing performance to defeat Real Madrid by five goals to two.

Benfica scored a famous victory over Real Madrid in a seven-goal thriller to lift the Eusebio Cup.

The Portuguese side stormed into the lead on home soil after just five minutes through Javi Garcia, but were quickly pegged back by a double-strike from Jose Callejon.

Benfica levelled before half-time through the talented Belgian Axel Witsel, before running Jose Mourinho's men ragged in the second half.

Enzo Perez produced a brilliant brace, followed by a goal from Carlos Martins, to put the result beyond doubt. The result means Benfica lift the Eusebio Cup for the third time in five seasons.

Eusebio himself provided the Benfica fans with a further reason to cheer, joining the teams on the field before the match as he continues to recover from a stroke suffered during Euro 2012.
