Benfica had lost their opening group match in Kaiserslautern and could do with a win here to get up and running in a repeat of the 1988 European Cup Final. Graeme Souness' men duly obliged with a 2-1 victory over the Dutch giants secured by goals from strike partners Nuno Gomes and João Pinto. The youngster Sousa played the full match at right back. The Águias did not build on the win though dropping too many points against HJK Helsinki to enable them to progress to the Quarter Finals despite finishing 2nd place in the group. Sousa came through the club's youth ranks and despite making 5 Champions League appearances in this campaign the defender moved to Alverça for 99-00   Click the banner to get it at ONLY: GBP349.99
