Penalty expertise at both ends of the pitch gave Benfica a 1-0 win over Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Tuesday, all but ending the Ukrainian champion's hopes of qualifying. Eduardo Salvio put Benfica ahead with a powerfully hit spot-kick in first-half stoppage time and, after the break, goalkeeper Ederson's penalty save stopped Dynamo Kiev from drawing level. The win leaves Benfica and Napoli level at the top of Group B on seven points, one ahead of Besiktas, while Dynamo has only one point from four games and will finish last unless it wins both its remaining games.
