Champions League: Real Madrid and Benfica level at halftime

It's halftime at the Santiago Bernabéu! After a first half that lacked much intensity, Real Madrid are holding Benfica and, as it stands, are virtually through to the Champions League round of 16.

Rafa Silva broke the deadlock before Aurélien Tchouaméni equalized. The score at halftime is 1-1.
