Benfica celebrates 6-0 victory after weather chaos in the club World Cup!

Orlando, USA - The club world championship is affected by extreme weather conditions this year. A particularly sensational game took place on Friday between Benfica Lisbon and Auckland City. While Benfica led 1-0 at halftime, the game had to be interrupted due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. The interruption lasted almost two and a half hours, which led to a significant delay in the game process. Nevertheless, after the restart, the Portuguese showed an impressive performance and finally won 6: 0, such as Laola1 reported.

Before the interruption, Angel di Maria had scored the first goal for Benfica by penalty in added time in the first half. After the long break, five more goals followed by the players Vangelis Pavlidis, Renato Sanches and Leandro Barreiro, who scored twice. Di Maria also secured his double pack with a second penalty goal in the final phase.

game course and viewer

The encounter took place in Orlando, less than 25,000 spectators, which means that the stadium was not even half full. In the first half, Benfica had problems using clear opportunities, but was able to significantly increase after the interruption. In contrast, the goalkeeper of Auckland City, Garrow, showed several strong actions that could prevent worse, since Auckland had some chances to compensate, but could not score a single goal, reports Kicker .

This game was not the only game of the club World Cup that suffered from extreme weather conditions. A game between RB Salzburg and Pachuca on Thursday had to be interrupted for about 100 minutes. The previously held match between Palmeiras São Paulo and Al-Nahry Kairo was also affected when it was stopped for almost an hour due to an impending storm, which Sportschau confirmed.

changes in the lists

In the run-up to the game, Benfica had made four changes in the starting eleven after playing 2-2 against Boca Juniors, while Auckland took five changes after the high 0: 10 defeat against Bavaria. It should be noted that the red -locked Belotti was missing from Benfica, which also influenced the team's list.

Benfica nevertheless demonstrated a significant increase in performance in this game and made the leap into the next round of the club world championship with an impressive total performance.
