While Bayern had just won with a titanic advance against Auckland (10-0), the Benfiquittes had a little pressure from the result, to try to go to the Germans the first place in group C. and the scenario of this night was all that the teammates of Alvaro Carreras wanted to avoid. Basic in the start of the match, the Portuguese found themselves led by two goals after a center cut at the first post by Merentiel (1-0, 21st), then a Battaglia head at the reception of a Corner's combination (2-0, 27th).
At the mind, Benfica returned to the score and snatched a precious point, first thanks to a penalty caused by Otamendi and transformed by Di Maria (2-1, 45+3rd), then thanks to a powerful head of this same Otamendi on a corner (2-2, 84th). Meanwhile, the match has gradually turned to physical explanation, with a lot of faults and three evictions in total (two for Boca and one for Benfica). In the other meeting of the night, Flamengo won without trembling against Hope Tunis (2-0), thanks to a resumption at close range of Giorgian de Arrascaeta and a magnificent strike from the former Lille Lille Luis Araujo.
