Diego Maradona's son, Di Maria, made history on Thursday night when he scored his first goal in the Portuguese Primeira Liga with Benfica. The Argentine winger, who joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, had been out of action since mid-September due to injury.

Despite being a regular starter for his former club, Di Maria has struggled to find his feet at Benfica, scoring just one goal in eight appearances before Thursday's match against Sporting CP. However, he was able to make up for that by scoring a stunning overhead kick in the 77th minute, sending the home fans wild with his first goal for the club.

The 25-year-old's goal came as a relief for the team, who were trailing 1-0 at the time and had been under pressure throughout the game. It also marked a significant achievement for Di Maria, who is still only the second player from Argentina to score in the top-flight of European football after Lionel Messi.

The goal was also a testament to the quality of Benfica's squad, which includes several players who have played for major clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. The team will be hoping that their star striker can continue to perform well and help them secure a place in Europe's elite competition next season.
