The Brazilian winger scored in the 50th minute but his celebration sparked confrontations with Benfica players. Vinicius reported to the referee that Prestianni made racist remarks during an exchange, leading to the game being halted under FIFA's racism protocol.
The match resumed after a 10-minute delay, with Vinicius initially refusing to continue. A Benfica staff member was shown a red card amid the chaos. Later in the game, Vinicius was struck on the arm by an object thrown from the crowd.
