debut to the Bayern Munich overlap with a great objective against his previous club as Niko Kovac's side ran out 2-0 victors over Benfica in their Champions League Group E experience.
Having persevered through a torrid credit spell at Swansea City last term, Sanches was given his first Bayern begin since May 2017 at Estadio da Luz, and - subsequent to having an influence in Robert Lewandowski's opener - the youth appropriately reimbursed Kovac's confidence in the 54th moment when he got on the finish of James Rodriguez's fragile cross.
Be that as it may, things could have been extraordinary notwithstanding Manuel Neuer, who kept Benfica under control with a string of amazing recoveries either side of the interim. Serge Gnabry had an objective refused for offside as Bayern hoped to expand their lead, yet that choice made a difference little as Kovac proceeded with his triumphant begin.
Bayern were ahead in the tenth moment - Sanches selecting Franck Ribery, who joined with David Alaba to curtail for Lewandowski to tuck home. Arjen Robben and James both left behind shots as Bayern ruled, and their wickedness would have been rebuffed had Neuer not kept out Eduardo Salvio's strike.
Be that as it may, Benfica's expectations of a rebound took a blow soon after the interim - Sanches available to pound home from short proximity to top off a move that he began. Jardel and Ruben Dias attempted their fortunes with headers around the hour, yet Neuer was in top shape to keep Bayern's perfect sheet flawless.
Substitute Gnabry thought he had put the diversion past all uncertainty in the 68th moment, just for the offside banner to forestall Bayern adding further gleam to the triumph.
