Here is a look at the Benfica vs Aarhus player ratings from the big Portuguese sports newspapers for the first leg of their Europa League playoff round clash in August 2026. SLB, who had beaten Hearts 6-1 at the same stadium earlier this month, beat Danish side AGF 3-1 here.

O Jogo didn’t think too highly of Lenglet’s performance in defence for SLB, but was appreciative of the likes of Prestianni upfront- he got a 7, as did goal scorers Rafa and Barreiro. Pavlidis, who scored a penalty goal for SLB, was given a 6 by the paper.
A Bola paper ratings SL Benfica 3-1 AGF
Sports newspaper A Bola really liked the performance of Mads Hedenstad Christiansen in goal for AGF, giving the Norwegian goalkeeper a 8/10- more than any player on either side.
