Benfica beat Bayern at Club World Cup as Auckland City hold Boca
Benfica beat Bayern Munich 1-0 in searing heat at the Club World Cup on Tuesday to progress to the last 16 as group winners, while minnows Auckland City claimed a memorable draw against Boca Juniors. Andreas Schjelderup scored the only goal of the Group C clash for Benfica in front of 33,287 fans in Charlotte, finishing first-time from a cutback by his fellow Norwegian Fredrik Aursnes in the 13th minute. The German champions, who left the likes of Harry Kane and Michael Olise on the bench at kick-off, were unable to come back in sweltering afternoon conditions in heatwave-hit North Carolina. Kane and Olise came on at half-time and Bayern did then look more dangerous, but Leroy Sane was denied when clean through by Benfica's Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin. A draw would have allowed Bayern to top the section but a Kimmich effort that found the net was ruled out for offside and Trubin denied Sane again while Kane mistimed a header from close range late on. It was Benfica's first ever win in 14 competitive meetings with the Bavarian side and it means they finish first in the group and so will play the Group D runners-up -- either Chelsea or Esperance -- in Charlotte in the last 16 on Saturday. "I think this was a very fair and important win, historic really," said Benfica coach Bruno Lage. "We were as straightforward and assertive as we should be and I think we were very effective in delivering our strategy today." Bayern finished second and so will go to Miami on Sunday to take on Brazilian giants Flamengo, with a potential quarter-final against European champions Paris Saint-Germain awaiting. "You could see that it was really tough conditions so respect to both teams for that," said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany. "Our first half was not good enough for sure, the second half was definitely more the level that we expected and good enough to score one or two or three goals." - Another weather delay - That result meant whatever Boca did against Auckland City in Nashville would not be enough to qualify, but the Argentine giants were still expected to do better than draw 1-1 against the tournament minnows from New Zealand. Auckland had lost 10-0 to Bayern and 6-0 to Benfica but this time they recovered from falling behind in the first half when goalkeeper Nathan Garrow palmed a Lautaro Di Lollo header into his own net. Christian Gray equalised with a header in the second half to earn the sole representatives from Oceania a remarkable point. "You can't say we haven't learned from the experience of being at the tournament, I'm thrilled for the players and the club, it's wonderful. It's something to go home with," said City coach Paul Posa. Posa said it was a great result for football in Oceania. "I think it's restored a little bit of pride, a little bit of reputation for us," he added. "We're a tiny club with a huge heart and that's evident for all to see." - Chelsea eye last 16 - The game was the fifth so far at the tournament to be suspended due to a weather warning, with play stopping for almost an hour -- when the action restarted not a drop of rain had fallen at Geodis Park. Chelsea faced Tunisian champions Esperance later at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, with the Premier League side needing only a draw to confirm their place in the next round from Group D. Flamengo, already assured of top spot in the section, faced eliminated Los Angeles FC at the same time in Orlando. Elsewhere on Tuesday, FIFA opened a disciplinary investigation into Pachuca's Gustavo Cabral after allegations he made a racist comment to Real Madrid's Antonio Rudiger. The incident came towards the end of Sunday's game between the two teams which Real won 3-1. Rudiger was visibly angered following an exchange of words with Argentine Cabral and spoke to the referee. Cabral denied he had racially abused the German centre-back.

The Briefing: How did players cope with heat? Has Kompany got a Musiala deputy?
Follow reaction after Bayern Munich were handed their first defeat of the tournament and dropped into second in Group C Getty Images Benfica have finished top of Group C at the Club World Cup after beating Bayern Munich 1-0 in Charlotte. The German champions have had to settle for second place in the group after Andreas Schjelderup scored the game's only goal in the 13th minute. Bayern pushed for an equaliser in a much-improved second half but Benfica stood firm defensively, with goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin making a string of big saves. In the other game, Auckland City stunned Boca Juniors with a 1-1 draw to pick up their first point of the tournament. Connections: Sports Edition Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Benfica sealed their place in the Club World Cup knockouts and topped Group C with a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich, who finished as runners-up. The heat in Charlotte was intense, around the 40C (104F) mark, as it has been in many early kick-offs through the tournament. Both teams go through to the knockouts and will find out their opponents when Group D finishes later today. Below, The Athletic 's Seb Stafford-Bloor and Mark Carey break down the action from Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte. GO FURTHER Benfica 1 Bayern Munich 0 – How did players cope with heat? Has Kompany got a Musiala deputy? Getty Images That's it! Benfica win and top Group C ahead of Bayern after beating the German side! What effect that has on the knockout stages, we'll find out later today... Getty Images 90+9' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Great chance for Harry Kane from Olise's corner but the ball hits his shoulder and skips wide! Benfica got a (soft) free kick anyway before a slight push from Kane on Otamendi. And... 90+8' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Good from Benfica subs Gouveia and Bajrami. Gouveia, on the right touchline, holds the ball up really well and wins the throw from Thomas Muller after tricking past the veteran. Then Bajrami slides in to put a cross behind for a corner. Getty Images 90+7' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich ...but they're somehow still hanging on. 5-4-1 formation, almost everyone behind the ball, they're super deep and narrow, clinging on to their narrow lead. Bayern desperately trying to make something happen but running out of time. A minute or so left! Progress in the game over in Nashville — we have a restart time of ten minutes' time. The game was suspended with the score locked at 1-1 between Boca Juniors and Auckland City due to inclement weather. The players are going to have a bit of a warm up before resuming play, though with the Bayern Munich-Benfica game very nearly finished and Boca heading out, there hardly seems much point in playing on now. 90+4' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Fine cross Olise, Muller poised, Aursnes behind. Corner. 90+2' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Trubin, so good today, plucks Guerreiro's high cross out of the sky. Man of the match so far. Can he hang on to the clean sheet he so deserves? Getty Images 90+1' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Eight minutes of added time. Lots of injuries, lots of subs, lots of time for Bayern still to get an equaliser. Getty Images 90' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Hilarious from sub Tiago Gouveia. First it's brilliant 'elastico'/flip-flop skill, lovely footwork, to escape a Bayern defender. He carries the ball a fair way, and out of puff, tries to knock it past Stanisic too, but the Croatian gets his body in the way. Gouveia puts hands on Stanisic, who goes down. Soft, but a foul. Then Gouveia absolutely wellies the ball away. Clearest yellow you'll ever see. Getty Images 88' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich WOW! Anatoliy Trubin saves from Leroy Sane with a one on one again! Brilliant play from Harry Kane, who controls with one touch, turns with another, and plays an absolutely sumptuous through ball with his third. Sane clean through, he tries to chip Trubin but the Ukrainian flings a left arm out to block it! Getty Images 87' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Benfica's Angel Di Maria and Vangelis Pavlidis have emptied the tank and walk off for Joao Rego and Tiago Gouveia. Getty Images 86' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Harry Kane inside the box... Nicolas Otamendi is calm and patient (unlike him!) as he slowly and gradually forces the England captain wide and then back. Kane has played in six matches against Otamendi in his career... and not scored. Yet. Then Sane gets a shot inside the box but lashes it over. 84' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Antonio Silva has been really impressive for Benfica. Konrad Laimer swings in a cross from the right, Harry Kane is poised to nod it home, only for Antonio Silva to get his head in the way and divert it out for a corner. Brilliant timing. 82' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Haha, Orkun Kokcu picks up the ball, sees Manuel Neuer off his line, and slams forward an extremely ambitious shot from miles and miles out. It dribbles through to Neuer. 81' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich Harry Kane is frustrated after being scythed down, and the referee sprints in to squash any potential handbags. Then Benfica subs on the sidelines are up in arms as Tah outmuscles Pavlidis, before Olise is clattered from behind. Both teams getting a bit tetchy. Getty Images Apart from the dangers of the weather — both storms and sweltering temperatures alike — for fans and players, the weather breaks pose a different challenge for FIFA ahead of next year's World Cup. The whole point of the final games of a group kicking off at the same time is so the teams do not know what is happening in the other fixture. It adds jeopardy should multiple teams be chasing a place in the knockouts, but also stops teams from sitting back to get mutually beneficial results. A lengthy weather delay in games disrupts that. 78' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich To be fair to Renato Sanches, he has succumbed to the heat and goes off. Defender Adrian Bajrami onto the pitch in his place. I think that makes it a back five with wing-backs. Getty Images 77' Benfica 1-0 Bayern Munich A brief pause in play as Renato Sanches receives some medical treatment on the pitch. Bayern aren't happy, feeling he is time-wasting.
