Benfica leads 6-0 at half-time, extending to a 6-1 final in the first leg, as Hearts are overwhelmed in Lisbon. Benfica dominates with early goals and set-pieces, leaving Hearts facing an uphill second leg in Edinburgh. Vrancken laments poor defending and calls for composure in the return.
Liverpool's pre-season form continues as a substitution for Jeremie Frimpong signals overload rather than injury, with the Reds equal to a 2-2 draw after a dominant first half. The side now prepares for matches against Monaco and Como before the season opener at Newcastle.
Celtic have suffered a heavy European defeat, with Benfica running out 4-1 winners in Lisbon after a disastrous first half. The hosts fought back in the second 45 minutes, but Celtic remain winless in the group, with questions over defensive fragility and attacking output.
