Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang outdid himself, just when it seemed things couldn't get worse for the Borussia Dortmund striker.
After missing a series of close-range chances before Benfica grabbed the lead, Aubameyang had a chance to get his side back into the contest after being trusted with taking a penalty shortly after halftime.
But staying true to his poor form throughout the contest, Aubameyang unleashed a dreadful penalty which Benfica netminder Ederson Moraes easily turned away to help his side retain the first-leg advantage.
