The Champions League clash between Benfica and Juventus on Tuesday will be played without goal-line technology due to works at the Portuguese club's stadium, Uefa has said.
Benfica commissioned works at the Estadio da Luz "without the knowledge of Uefa and Uefa's goal-line technology supplier", European soccer's governing body said in a statement on Tuesday, which made the goal-line technology system dysfunctional.
The works included replacement of the giant screens, installation of LED lighting and a new sound system, Benfica said on their website.
"Unfortunately it will not be possible to replace and install a new system in time for the match and therefore the match will go ahead without the use of goal-line technology as per the Uefa Champions League regulations," Uefa said.
Juventus, who are third in Group H on three points, must beat Benfica to have any hope of reaching the knockout stage.
A win for the Portuguese, second on eight points with leaders Paris St Germain, would guarantee a last-16 spot.
