Argentine forward Gianluca Prestianni scored a decisive late goal in Benfica’s 2–1 comeback victory over Nacional de Madeira on Matchday 12 of the Primeira Liga.

Benfica were trailing 1–0 deep into the second half, but the Argentine produced the equalizer in the 89th minute. After receiving the ball on the right side of the box, Prestianni cut inside and struck a powerful low shot across the goalkeeper to make it 1–1. Minutes later, Vangelis Pavlidis completed the comeback with a goal in stoppage time.

Prestianni’s goal helped Benfica avoid another difficult result in a season marked by several tight matches. The Argentine attacker continues to earn minutes and importance under José Mourinho.

Argentine defender Aaron Anselmino scored his first goal in European football in Borussia Dortmund’s 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 12 of the Bundesliga. The former Boca Juniors centre-back opened the scoring in the 40th minute, rising in the box to meet a cross from Daniel Svensson and heading it past the goalkeeper for the 1-0 lead. It was his first goal for Dortmund and his first in Europe since arriving this season.

Anselmino continued his strong run of performances. Earlier in the week, he started and played all 90 minutes in the team’s 4-0 win over Villarreal, providing an assist in that match. Against Leverkusen, he once again completed the full match and is building rhythm as he aims to earn a call-up to the Argentina national team. During his time at Boca Juniors, he scored two goals across 23 matches — one against Trinidense in the Copa Sudamericana and another against Gimnasia in the Copa Argentina.

On the other side, Claudio Echeverri came off the bench for Leverkusen in the second half. The Argentine midfielder played 16 minutes after not featuring in midweek Champions League action, where Leverkusen had beaten Manchester City.
