Nathan Garo of Auckland made a half saves seven first, De Maria finally put Benafika in the eighth minute of the first half stop time.
Gianluka Prestian won the opportunity, slipping into the right corner of the penalty area and a halt to the late sliding challenge of Haris Zeb.
Di Maria turned into peace, allowing Garo to guess in the wrong direction before sending his side—footed effort.
This ended some growing preliminary disappointment from the Portuguese favorite and after the succession of the missed opportunities and 18 Kul-Haf shot attempts.
In the midst of that stretch, álvaro Carreras took their second care of the tournament, which means that it would be suspended for Benafika’s third match against the river plate on Tuesday.
