Benfica defeated Marseille in the Europa League quarter-final first leg.
Rafa Silva controlled and pushed in Kasper Tengstedt's pass to give the Portuguese hosts the lead.
Ángel Di María doubled the lead from the ball from David Neres, completing a great move.
But Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ran onto a through ball and fired home to give Marseille, eighth in Ligue 1, hope for next week's second leg in France.
Former Benfica manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who is suffering from cancer, was given a guard of honor on the pitch at half-time.
The winner of the tie will face either Liverpool or Atalanta in the semi-finals. Atalanta wins first leg 3-0 at Anfield.
