SL Benfica - Celtic FC, 15 Oct 2026
Two goals from Jhon Durán, the first a Panenka penalty he won himself, helped SL Benfica to a 4–1 victory over Celtic FC in the UEFA Europa League in Lisbon. The Portuguese side led 3–0 at half-time thanks to poor Celtic defending.
Durán scored from the spot in the 5th minute, Alexander Bah made it 2–0 in the 23rd, and Durán added his second in the 36th. Celtic showed more fight after the break and Camilo Durán pulled one back in the 63rd minute, scoring just after the birth of his child, but Vangelis Pavlidis sealed the result in the 89th minute.
Benfica collected their second win of the league phase, while Celtic have lost both of their opening matches.
