South Americans ahead for a head -on -shot of Di Lollo, the New Zealanders respond with Gray. Long suspended match for weather alert
A gray Boca, off, surrender, cannot win even against the Auckland amateurs. A sad and sad exit that of the Argentines who say goodbye to the Club World Cup in the worst way. So this game, suspended in the 54th minute for more than half an hour due to the lightning risk, will be remembered above all for the historic goal of the tie of the Auckland: the Professione Christian Gray is the teacher, to be here he had to take days of vacation and when he returns to his homeland he will be able to tell his students that he had marked the glorious Boca. Not bad. A sensational tie (1-1) that made the exit of the Argentines even more bitter, who must complain about their mistakes: against Benfica they threw themselves away making themselves reassembled two goals and so yesterday’s game was useless. Against Auckland on paper it was a formality given the technical gap with the New Zealanders, but it was not so. Because Boca played badly, without nerve, tangled by a slow and predictable maneuver. And after the recovery after suspension for bad weather he was unable to score.
Boca juniors off

In front of the eyes of the president Fifa Gianni Infantino and that of the Argentine Federation Claudio Tapia, the coach Miguel Angel Russo immediately launched Edinson Cavani who played the first minutes in this club world championship, without engraving. The news that came from the other group and the great heat of Nashville immediately made themselves heard. The rhythm of the Argentines – as a bit throughout the tournament – was bland, so much so that they seriously risked to convert the goal after 5 minutes: Lagos ate a gluttonous opportunity in front of Marchesin. But the best quality of the Argentines has never emerged. Against Bayern the Auckland wall had come down after six minutes, this time instead they resisted until 26 ‘when an unfortunate goalkeeper Garrow’s goal after the head of Lollo di Testa allowed the Boca to go ahead. From there he was a slow assault on the fragile opponent’s defense which, however, did not lead to anything. Boca was also unlucky. He went twice close to doubling, hitting two woods at the end of the first half: first the Palacios pole then the crossbar with Merentiel.
Auckland City, historical goal

In the second half Boca entered the field even more demoralized. The heavy legs and the attached mind were a ballast for the Argentines who also incredibly taken goals from a corner kick with Christian Gray, a teacher profession, who headed Marchesin. For New Zealanders, he was the first goal in this club world championship. Not even the time to react that the match was suspended for the risk risk with threat of lightning: players in the changing rooms and fans under the stands. Then, to the restart, the atmosphere was even more surreal than the previous one. After the success of Benfica on Bayern this was a game that counted practically nothing more. Boca made a series of changes also thinking about the championship. The AUKLAND players, on the other hand, thought above all to make this day even more unforgettable. At 60 ‘the Boca was canceled a goal by Merentiel for the previous hand of Zenon. Then he tiredly went towards the end between Cooling break And watering in the bright. Boca tried at least to save the honor, without succeeding: at 96 ‘Garrow’s decisive parade that arms the 1-1.
