But then Benfica took control and eventually winning the game that evening by 2 points. They outrebounded CAB 36-23 including 26 on the defensive glass. It was a good game for the former international forward Sergio Ramos (200-76) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 23 points and 11 rebounds. The former international guard Miguel Minhava (197-83) contributed with 8 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists for the winners. Benfica's coach Henrique Vieira allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game.
