We give the Officers players an imprint out of ten for their presentation during the match against Benfica:

Jack Butland: Scorned by Britain director Gareth Southgate prior in the day when the Three Lions crew was named, Officers’ No 1 put in a to a great extent impeccable exhibition. Had minimal possibility with Rafa Silva’s objective and made a brilliant prevent from Alexander Bah to keep the hosts in the tie. 6

James Tavernier: The commander was kept alert and aware by Benfica’s counter and he wasn’t exactly ready to have a lot of an effect going ahead. Should stand by one more season to match Partner McCoist’s objective count in Europe. 6

Connor Goldson: Held firm in the main half, with one vital test to foil David Neres at the back post. Gotten a yellow card for halting a quick counter by the guests. 6

John Souttar: An exhibition that definitely will have gotten Scotland chief Steve Clarke’s attention. He won most of his own duels and kept Marcos Leonardo so peaceful that he was subbed at the break. Great perusing of the game and sound passing. Quite possibly of the best player on the pitch. 8

Ridvan Yilmaz: Invests a force of energy down the left flank and made a lot of good blocks. However, his final result from promising regions wasn’t acceptable. 6

John Lundstram: The midfielder simply doesn’t quit working. His passing was a bit astray on occasion yet he was the motor moving the group along as they attempted to track down a leveler. Had a late shot very much held by Trubin. 7

Mohamed Diomande: This was a sufficiently fair presentation from the Ivorian. He was the most made out of Officers’ focal midfielders and did his reasonable portion of guarded work. Supplanted by Raskin late on subsequent to discharging the petroleum tank. 7

Scott Wright: Saw a lot of ownership in the principal half yet was to a great extent inadequate down the right flank. Sneaked through Dessers for a decent opportunity toward the beginning of the last part however that was his best second. Supplanted by Matondo on 73 minutes. 5

Tom Lawrence: The Welshman was steady in the main half however restricted from a going after perspective. Blurred rapidly as the subsequent period seethed on and it was nothing unexpected to see him subbed by Cantwell. 5

Fabio Silva: Unfit to motivate his group in the last third. The Portuguese was generally on the outskirts against his old group. 5

Cyriel Dessers: This was not the Nigerian forward’s night. One flawless lay-off was awesome of his most memorable half and keeping in mind that he was considerably more energetic after the break, he was unable to take a respectable Officers risk at 0-0 when his shot redirected wide. An unfortunate touch at a home corner got going the counter for Benfica’s opener. Roofe welcomed on with 15 minutes on to offer something else in assault. 5

Substitutes: Todd Cantwell and Rabbi Matondo were presented not long after Benfica opened the scoring. Neither one of the men had the option to energize a restoration, with Cantwell’s passing not exact enough. Kemar Roofe was famished of a significant opportunity and Nicolas Raskin was tossed on late to attempt to empower the midfield.
