Aarhus have limited supporting data to draw on, but a disciplined defensive performance could determine whether the tie remains competitive before the second leg.MATCH REPORTBenfica Dominate Aarhus 3-1 to Take Control of Europa League Play-Off TieBenfica beat Aarhus 3-1 after scoring three times in a dominant first half. Rafa Silva, L. Barreiro and V. Pavlidis supplied the goals, while Benfica’s 70 percent possession and 12 shots on goal demonstrated why S. Jorgensen’s reply was not enough to alter the result.
