Raul Jimenez Came To Benfica's Rescue Again

Of Raul Jimenez's 21 goals in his Benfica career, 14 have come after the 70th minute, with five match-winners.

Jimenez's prowess in the clutch was on display this weekend when in the 75th minute he scored the only goal of the match against Rio Ave to give Benfica the win.

Jimenez has had trouble getting on the field this season in Portugal, but he can still make a difference for Benfica. The win against Rio Ave helped Benfica retain their five-point lead on the top of the Premeira Liga table.

Even if Jimenez has played sparingly, he was there when Benfica needed him. Clutch player.
