Club World Cup: Benfica beats Bayern Munich in scorching heat to win Group C
Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Andreas Schjelderup scored in the 13th minute to give Benfica a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in scorching heat on Tuesday, sending the Portuguese club to the top of Group C in the Club World Cup. The loss dropped Bayern Munich to second place as Boca Juniors was eliminated. The game was played in a 97 degree temperature (36 Celsius). Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni was attended by the medical staff in the 25th minute due to heat-related issues and was replaced in the 55th. Schjelderup ran onto a cross from Fredrik Aursnes and scored with a right-footed shot from near the penalty spot. Bayern's Joshua Kimmich put the ball in the net in the 61st minute but the goal was disallowed because Harry Kane was in an offside position in the line of sight of goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin. Bayern lost its first match loss of the tournament as it struggled to find a rhythm ahead of the knockout stages later this week, despite a late attacking effort including a disallowed goal. Key moment Schjelderup's early goal changed the dynamic. Though insufficient, Bayern made an attacking effort that fell short against Benfica's organized defense, leaving the German champions unable to find an equalizer despite increased pressure in the second half. Key stat Bayern started only four of players from the starting lineup in Friday's win over Boca Juniors and introduced all five substitutes at the start of the second half: Kane, Kimmich, Konrad Laimer, Michael Olise and Jonathan Tah. What they said 'Opponents play tough .... In the end when the goalkeeper is the man of the match, then you did not do everything wrong.' — Thomas Muller of Bayern Munich. 'It's an important victory. We played a great game, especially in the first half. In the second half, it was obviously more difficult but we knew how to suffer.' — Nedim Bajrami of Benfica. ___ AP soccer: recommended

🎥 Schjelderup scores, Bayern out, Benfica top, historic Auckland
The Club World Cup delivers excitement and plot twists on the last day of Group C. Stealing the show is Benfica, who narrowly beat Bayern Munich to claim the top spot, ahead of the Germans themselves. A historic victory for the Portuguese, who had never beaten the Bavarians before. The decisive goal comes at the 13th minute and is scored by Andreas Schjelderup, a young Norwegian talent born in 2004. Advertisement Bayern, already qualified for the last sixteen, paid for a too passive first half, also due to a wide rotation. Meanwhile, in the other group match, Auckland City scores a goal and draws against Boca Juniors, which is as good as a trophy: they are the first in its tournament history. ✍️ Benfica surprises Bayern and makes history For the first time in fourteen encounters, Benfica manages to beat Bayern Munich. The Portuguese win with a clean 1-0, which earns them the top spot in the group and overtakes the Germans in the standings. The goal comes just thirteen minutes in thanks to Schjelderup, who coolly finishes a counterattack orchestrated by Di Maria and smartly finished by Aursnes. Advertisement The first half is dominated by the Portuguese, with a slow, predictable, and not very dangerous Bayern in front of goal. The only German chances come in the final minutes of the first half, with Muller and Sané failing to find the net. The second half changes everything, but not the result. 🧤 Bavarian assault in the second half, but Trubin says no Vincenzo Kompany revolutionizes Bayern in the second half and immediately brings on Kane, Kimmich, and Olise, who were initially rested. The game gains pace and quality and Benfica begins to suffer, often retreating into the last sixteen meters. Trubin is the absolute protagonist, decisive first on Sané at the 50th minute and then again on Pavlovic and the same Sané at the 88th. The best chance falls to Kimmich, who scores the equalizer with a precise right foot, but the action is ruled out for active offside by Kane, who obstructs the goalkeeper's view. Benfica holds on and brings home a prestigious result that propels them to the last sixteen as group leaders. For the Germans, a complex crossover with Flamengo is now on the cards. 🧱 Defensive solidity test: Antonio Silva giant Benfica's victory is also and above all built at the back, where Antonio Silva plays a practically perfect game. The Portuguese center-back is by far the best defender on the field, closing every space and systematically anticipating the opposing attackers. In ninety minutes he collects as many as eleven defensive clearances, completing twenty-two passes out of twenty-three and winning 100% of individual duels. Advertisement Never a foul, never a hesitation. Schjelderup is rightly celebrated for the decisive goal, but Silva's performance is what allows the Portuguese to maintain the lead until the end. It is the sign of a compact and mature team, capable of holding up even against a powerhouse like Bayern. 😍 Auckland City: historic goal with a fairy-tale signature Meanwhile, in Nashville, a small-great sporting fairy tale unfolds. Auckland City scores its first goal in the history of the Club World Cup, breaking a drought that seemed endless after the 0-10 against Bayern and the 0-6 against Benfica, and earns its first ever point in the competition. The goal comes in the match against Boca Juniors, and is scored by Christian Gray, a part-time striker and daytime teacher. A story that moves, because it tells the true football, the one that lives on dreams, sacrifices, and small achievements. Advertisement The goal comes after an initial lead by the Argentinians thanks to an own goal by Garrow, but the New Zealanders' equalizer triggers enthusiasm even in the stands. ⛔ Bad weather in Nashville and suspended match The match between Auckland City and Boca Juniors was temporarily suspended in the second half. Exactly at the 55th minute, with the score at 1-1, a sudden storm hits the area of Geodis Park, forcing the referee to send the teams into the locker rooms. The reason for the interruption is the presence of "electrical activity" in the area, a risk too high for the safety of players and public. The match resumed later and ended with a score of 1-1.

SL Benfica secured a 1-0 victory over FC Bayern München in Charlotte during the final matchday of the group stage and qualified for the round of 16 as the leader of Group C.

Benfica will face the runner-up of Group D in the round of 16, while Bayern Munich will clash with Flamengo, already confirmed as the leader of this same group, in that stage. On OneFootball, we tell you who the protagonists of this dramatic ending have been... Andreas Schjelderup opened the scoring!

Benfica edge Bayern Munich to top Club World Cup group
After securing their first-ever victory over Bayern, Benfica will face Chelsea or Esperance de Tunis in the last 16. Bayern, finishing second, are set to face Group D leaders Flamengo. Schjelderup broke the deadlock after 13 minutes with a first-time finish off Fredrik Aursnes' low cross from the right, capitalising on a lapse in Bayern's backline. With Bayern already assured of a place in the next round, their rotated lineup lacked urgency. The Germans improved after the break and Joshua Kimmich thought he had equalised, but his effort was ruled out for Harry Kane being offside.
