The Portuguese central defender started in the middle of the back line alongside Gabriel Paulista, playing on the left of the pairing. He played the full 90 minutes, whilst midfielder  Oliva came on in the second half, replacing Carlos Soler and accompanying Uros Racic.

Patrick Cutrone, another newcomer, played the final minutes, having already debuted last weekend in Bilbao against Athletic Club. The only incorporation still to feature is Cristiano Piccini, who returned from a loan spell at Atalanta last month.
