Benfica qualify for Champions League quarter-finals

Benfica came from behind to beat Zenit Saint Petersburg 2-1 on Wednesday and qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals at the Russians' expense, taking the last 16 tie 3-1 on aggregate.

With extra time looming, Nicolas Gaitan cancelled out Hulk's opener on the night five minutes from time to leave Zenit stunned, and substitute Talisca won the match on the night with the very last kick.

Through to the last eight for the first time since 2012, Benfica join Real Madrid and Wolfsburg in being safely into next week's draw.
