Benfica, mission accomplished. He beats 6-0 Auckland, not without effort, and goes to the head of group C waiting for Bayern-Boca who played on the night between Saturday and Sunday. In case of success of the Germans, who face the Portuguese at the last, it will be enough not to lose to go to the round of 16. But it takes 53 minutes of the second half to break through the Auckland wall, thanks to the usual penalty of Di Maria. In the second half is Cinquina after the New Zealand physical drop.

Angel from the spot

Regularly in the field of Mary. Lage could be thought to spare him in view of the challenge against Bayern. Auckland’s semi-detoves take the field with more “composed” module and attitude than 10-0 at the debut against Bayer. The five -year -old defense makes Benfica’s Giropalla, which looks for the outburst inside the area with a high ball, sterile. It happens twice, from 18 ‘to 24’, and two colossal chances are born, in practice on the move, wasted by Akturkoglu and Pavlidis. The goal, sighed after the one canceled by Aursnes for charge on the Pavlidis goalkeeper, arrives at the 8th minute of recovery of the first round: of Di Maria’s penalty for Zeb’s foul on Prestianni. ExtraTime Large for the curtain starring the Chinese midfielder Zhou, who implores his health staff of staying on the pitch after suffering a ball in the face (link).

Infinite break

Resumption that began with two and a half hours of delay due to bad weather. Benfica seems even more asleep. The first conclusion on goal is New Zealand. Pavlidis thinks about waking up his: at 8 he receives from Kokcu, dribbles a couple of opponents in the area and deposits on the net. Tris signed by Renato Sanchez to the first ball touched by his entry into the field for Kocku, very angry, who sends Lage to that country and who continues the quarrel with his technician on the bench for several minutes. In the last quarter of an hour Auckland melts: Portuguese monologue to grow in networks difference. With the brace of Barreiro and the second penalty (generous) marked in the recovery of Di Maria, it ends 6-0.
