Benaton lost 21-17 at home to Monaco’s Conach and suffered their fifth consecutive defeat. Treviso will have to contend with a zero goal in the first half and a goal in the final. The first split, in fact, ended 14-3, just 55 seconds after Prendergast’s goals and Murray’s goals just before half – time, followed by Karthi’s conversions. Benetton’s only sharp point was Da Ray’s football, but in the second half, two goals from Padovani and Halafihi came in the 20th minute, deceiving the hosts: 17-14. However, in the 75th minute, Tuimuga scored the winning game, and then Carty converted the third to 21-17. In the final minutes, Benetton tried to attack with various accusations and the circulation of the ball, but the victory did not come sharp: it ended 21-17, after two knockouts with Konach now approaching the top 8. Treviso was replaced by a mirage, the fifth consecutive knockout and ninth overall in the competition.
