Benfica steadied the ship with a much-needed 3-0 win over AVS in the Primeira Liga after a rough stretch that featured a frustrating draw against Santa Clara and a shocking Champions League collapse against Qarabag.
The victory brought As Aguias within five points of league leaders Porto, and with their rescheduled Matchday 1 clash against Rio Ave, they have a chance to cut that gap to just two. Rio Ave, sitting in the thick of the relegation fight, will be desperate for points of their own as they battle to climb out of the playoff zone.
