I don't think Varela made a mistake there. He clears the ball from the striker's feet, it just happens to bounce in Lisandro. Weird but fair penalty for Benfica. Rio Ave was overall better. Benfica looked bad till the second half when they slowly started to get better ofensively. Rio Ave played well but started getting tired in the last 20 minutes.
