The match at Hard Rock Stadium was fierce and saw 4 goals scored, divided equally between each team. In addition to the explosive moments, fans also witnessed tackles and heated arguments between players from both sides.
In total, the referee issued 4 yellow cards and 3 direct red cards. Ander Herrera (Boca) started the card storm by running onto the field without permission in the 45th minute. In the second half, Mr. Cesar Ramos issued red cards to Andrea Belotti (Benfica) and Jorge Figal (Boca) for rough fouls.
Although the match was constantly interrupted by collisions, the referee only allowed 5 minutes of injury time in the second half, thereby not giving the two clubs enough time to score more goals.
Benfica struggled to get points. |
Boca almost pulled off a surprise when they took a 2-0 lead. Despite Angel Di Maria scoring a penalty late in the first half, the Argentine side held their nerve. However, the class of a European club helped Benfica equalise with a powerful header from Nicolas Otamedi in the 88th minute.
Benfica became the first European team to fail to win the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Boca Juniors became the first South American team since 2007 to score more than one goal against a European team in the Club World Cup (including the old format).
The result leaves the race for a place in the knockout stages in Group C uncertain. Boca will next face Bayern Munich, while Benfica will face Auckland City.
