Kick-off of the third day of group C with two matches on the program: Bayern Munich-Benfica and Auckland-Boca Juniors. Already qualified and leaders in the ranking, the Bavarians only played to validate their first place in front of second -sided Aguias. To be preceded by Boca Juniors and eliminated, the LisBoets, which had a difference in the goal of +7 against the Argentines, were to bow very heavily against the Munichois and the Xeneizes were obliged to hit the Auckland. A not completely delusional scenario since the New Zealanders have lost their first two matches on the 10-0 and 6-0-0-10-0 scores.
However, the Porteños dream was short -lived. By attacking the match to the floor, Benfica managed to find the flaw in the thirteenth minute thanks to Andreas Schjelderup. At halftime, the Portuguese led and even took the lead in the group in Bayern. For his part, Boca Juniors was far from sticking a suitcase in Auckland since only a goal against his tourniquet camp allowed Argentines to be in front of the score. Upon returning from the locker room, Munich thought of equalizing by Joshua Kimmich, but the goal was refused for an offside of Harry Kane. For his part, Boca Juniors saw his hopes of qualification collapse after the first goal of Auckland in this club world signed Christian Gray. The match between the two teams was then interrupted due to the wrong climatic conditions, but that didn't change anything. Benfica and Bayern Munich qualify for the round of 16. They will respectively face the second and the first in group D (Flamengo, Chelsea, Espérance Tunis, Los Angeles FC).
