Bayern 0-1 Benfica, cleverly avoiding Chelsea

The final battle of the 2025 Club World Cup Group C was staged a dramatic scene. Portuguese powerhouse Benfica scored with Sheldrup's push shot in the 13th minute, defeating Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich 1-0, ending the embarrassing record of 14 matches in the team history. This victory allowed Benfica to secure the top spot in the group with 7 points, but pushed him to the mouth of Chelsea, the Blues; while Bayern, who actively rotated nine main players, accurately ranked second in the group with 6 points, successfully avoiding the favorite Chelsea to win the championship, and will play against South American powerhouse Flamenco in the 1/8 final.

The pre-match situation has laid the groundwork: Bayern only needs to tie to qualify for the first place, while Benfica needs at least 1 point to ensure promotion. However, Kompany's team made amazing adjustments - starting rotation of nine major players including Kane and Kimmich. Although Bayern had a possession rate of up to 70% in the game, he only shot 4 times and had 0 shots on the right side. After replacing the main player in the second half, Sane lost two singles, Lemmer hit the post and Kimmich's goal was blown away, and all kinds of "accidents" eventually made Benfica's first victory in history. The declaration of "struggle to win" before the game is intriguing in the face of tactical arrangements.

One battlefield, Boca Youth draws Oceania team Auckland City 1-1. In the 26th minute, Diloluo scored a header, but in the 52nd minute, Christian Gray scored the first goal of the Club World Cup in the history of Auckland City. This "baby" who conceded 16 goals in the previous two games finally achieved the goal goal. Boca Youth was eliminated with one point and became the first South American team to be eliminated in this tournament. In contrast, the Brazilian army made rapid progress: Palmeiras, Flamengo and Botafogo all advanced, and Frumenense also held the initiative to qualify. The South American team's record of unbeaten in the first nine rounds of the group stage was not over until Boca lost to Bayern.

The top 16 are scheduled initially.
