Scott Parker's hopes of guiding unfancied Club Brugge into the Champions League quarter-finals were dealt a blow as Benfica secured a 2-0 first-leg lead in Belgium.

Parker, who played in the competition for Chelsea, had his first outing as a manager in it at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Wednesday evening, but finished on the losing side.
