(AP) — Boca Juniors plays two of its three group-stage games of the Club World Cup in South Florida, and the Argentinian club's traveling fans have made their presence known. In the club's first game of the tournament, a 2-2 draw against Benfica, the announced attendance of 55,574 at Hard Rock Stadium was mostly Boca fans. Supporters of the club have been highly visible in Miami-Dade County, gathering on the beach in the thousands and singing in local Walmarts. Advertisement Sammy Icarina has supported Boca Juniors his whole life. 'I am a Boca fanatic. I'm 76 now, so imagine how long I've been a fan for. The minute the tickets came out I bought them,' Icarina told the Associated Press. The enthusiasm Boca has brought to the Club World Cup is known to those who love the team. 'It is always like this,' said Daniel Mata, who traveled from Argentina to watch. Silvana Gomez goes to Boca's home stadium in Buenos Aires, the Bombonera, frequently and says the traveling support is typical and expected. 'It's like this, always. Whether we go to Japan, Rio de Janeiro, wherever Boca plays we are always there,' Gomez said. Advertisement Miami-Dade police have been present and heavily equipped at the stadium's multiple checkpoints. New procedures have not posed any problem for the passionate Boca Juniors fans and no incidents have been reported at the venue. 'For now I think (the security) is five stars, everything has been good, the police, the security, everything,' Icarina said. Only Boca Juniors and one of the top clubs in the world, Real Madrid, have sold out their group-stage matches. On the sporting side, Boca Juniors and their continental counterparts have fared well against European and global powerhouses. There are six South American teams in this Club World Cup and they have all brought tens of thousands of fans to their games. Advertisement Ahead of Boca Juniors' Friday night match against Bayern Munich, South American clubs were undefeated in the expanded Club World Cup with wins against European powers Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea and ties against Borussia Dortmund, Benfica and Porto. Although Boca has not won in five games, its fans will be vocal no matter what. ___ AP soccer:

Shakira Austin stars, but Mystics' rally falls short in loss to Dream
COLLEGE PARK, Ga. — Allisha Gray scored 18 points to lead all five Atlanta starters in double figures, and the Dream beat the Washington Mystics, 92-91, on Friday night. Brionna Jones scored 14 points for Atlanta (9-4), and Rhyne Howard had 13 points and six assists. Jordin Canada added 11 points and Brittney Griner scored 10. Emily Engstler made a basket in the lane with 31.7 seconds remaining and, after Jones missed a layup, Brittney Sykes was fouled on a three-point shot with 0.1 seconds left but missed the second of three free throws. Sykes — who went into the game shooting 80 percent on 9.5 foul shots per game, most in the WNBA — finished 10 of 11 from the free-throw line. Shakira Austin made 13 of 17 from the field and finished with a career-high 28 points and 10 rebounds for Washington (5-8). Sykes had 21 points and eight assists, and Sonia Citron scored 17. Citron and Austin each scored four points in an 10-0 run that cut the Mystics' deficit to 87-84 with two minutes to play. Jones made 1 of 2 from the free-throw line before Sykes found Austin for a layup, and the ensuing free throw made it a one-point game. Gray made a shot in the lane, then stole a pass near midcourt, was fouled and hit two free throws to make it 92-87 with 47.4 seconds to go. Griner made a fadeaway jumper in the lane that gave Atlanta the lead for good and sparked an 11-2 run. Gray capped the spurt with a three-pointer that made it 41-32 with 3:17 left in the first half. The Mystics beat Atlanta, 94-90, at home in the season opener, and the Dream blew out Washington, 89-56, on Sunday.
