A number of Manchester United players consoled Benfica's Mile Svilar with the young goalkeeper on the verge of tears after a costly Champions League error.
United continued their charge towards the knock-out phase with a 1-0 win as Svilar, the competition's youngest-ever keeper, was embarrassed by a Marcus Rashford free-kick.
Although unable to produce a swashbuckling display, Jose Mourinho's triumphed in Lisbon as star man Rashford caught out fellow teenager Svilar with a free-kick that secured a 1-0 win.
The deciding moment was a nightmare for the 18-year-old on the night he replaced Real Madrid great Iker Casillas as the youngest goalkeeper to start a Champions League match.
Only tested by a low Nemanja Matic drive in a tepid first half, United upped the ante after the break led by the former Benfica midfielder and 19-year-old forward Rashford.
England international Rashford twice called Svilar into action from corners before trying his luck with a 64th-minute free-kick. The out-of-position goalkeeper backpedalled in an attempt to stop the whipped effort, but could only carry it over the line.
Svilar was on the verge of tears at the final whistle as he apologised to Benfica's supporters, with fellow Belgian Romelu Lukaku hugging the keeper along with Nemanja Matic.
