Champions League: Marcus Rashford's Goal Rescues United From Draw With Benfica As Mourinho Praises Defense

United did not find winning their Portuguese counterparts S.L Benfica easy, as they found did find a goal after an hour of play through Marcus Rashford.
As the United manager Jose Mourinho put it speaking after the match, winning their away match in Lisbon was that the team "was positive" and "always in control".
Opportunity showed up for the visiting English side when he won a free-kick after a foul from Benfica's Douglas, and  pulled a shot from the spot through which caught out the goalie.

"We were the team that was positive," Mourhino said "and we were always in control. I never felt we could concede a goal, we were very solid defensively...We knew Benfica pressure could not stay for 90 minutes."
