Bayern Munich won the Group C derby of the Club World Cup against Boca Juniors - 2:1, and the Bavarians are still a sure participant in the knockout stage after the second round.

The hero of the victory was Harry Kane - the Englishman scored in the 18th minute, and in the 84th minute, he assisted Frenchman Oliseh for the triumph, as Boca equalized in the 66th minute through Miguel Merentiel.

In Group C, Benfica defeated Auckland 6-0 in Orlando. But the Eagles struggled, and it was only in the eighth minute of half-time injury time that Angel di Maria converted Benfica's 18th penalty.

The match was suspended for several hours at the beginning of the second half due to bad weather. Once again, the unexpected caused problems in Orlando.

They continued to score goals by Vangelis Pavlidis in the 53rd minute, Renato Sanchez in the 63rd minute and Leandro Bareiro in the 76th and 78th minutes.

Benfica has one win and one draw, while Auckland has two losses. In the third round, Benfica will play against Bayern, and Auckland against Boca Juniors.

From the 68th minute, Chelsea played with a player less, as Nicholas Jackson received a straight red card.

Flamengo has recorded two wins, while Chelsea has a win and a loss.

Brazilian clubs were the best at the start of the 1st Club World Cup, as South American champions Botafogo were better than European champions PSG.

In the final, third round, Flamengo will play against Los Angeles, while Chelsea will face Esperance, who beat the team from the City of Angels 1-0 this morning. The Tunisians won thanks to a goal by Algerian Youcef Belali in the 71st minute.
