Manchester United blanks Benfica in Champions League play

Manchester United sealed its fourth straight win in Champions League Group A by beating Benfica 2-0 on Tuesday after another moment to forget for teenage goalkeeper Mile Svilar.

Two weeks after carrying the ball over his goal line to gift United a 1-0 win in Lisbon, the 18-year-old endured the misfortune of conceding an own goal in the 45th minute at Old Trafford. Nemanja Matic’s long-range shot struck the post, rebounded onto the shoulder of the diving goalkeeper, and deflected into the net.

United needs one point to advance. Benfica has lost all four of its games.
