Auckland defies Boca Juniors after 50 minutes of interruption

Surprise at Klub World Cup

After 50 minutes of interruption: amateurs defy professional club

The weather sparked again in the duel between Auckland and the Boca Juniors. In the end, the outsider cheered.

First the next game interruption, then that: The Boca Juniors embarrassed themselves against the amateurs from Auckland City at the club World Cup and follow the journey home after the 1-1 (0: 1) in the Bayern Group C like their opponent.

According to the own goal of Aucklands Nathan Garrow (26th minute), the Argentinians were able to hope for the round of 16. But Christian Gray’s goal (52nd) for the outsider from New Zealand and the victory of Benfica Lisbon against the German record champion (1-0) also prevented progress for Boca. Auckland celebrated the draw against Bayern (0:10) and Lisbon (0: 6) after two defeats.

Curious: Due to a severe weather warning, the encounter in Nashville was interrupted for a long time shortly after the equalizer. In the meantime, players and visitors left the field and their seating areas. When it continued, captain Miguel Mereniel scored the supposed winning goal for Boca, but the gate didn’t count because of handball.
