A few minutes later, the Ivorian Franck Kessie kicked Vinicius inside the area and the judge, who was nearby, charged a penalty. The Frenchman Benzema took charge of the execution and smoothly stretched the advantage of “Merengue”,
At 35 minutes, Vinicius made a formidable stack and served it to his attacking colleague, Benzema, who coldly defined before the departure of Ter Testegen and put the final 4-0.
