FC Bayern Munich received the first bankruptcy at the club World Cup: In extreme heat, the increase after the break against Benfica Lisbon was not enough to win.
The Portuguese won on Tuesday (June 24, 2025) by the goal of Norwegian Andreas Schjeldup in the 13th minute with 1-0, Benfica is the winner of Group C, the Munichers are still second.
Now he is waiting Chelsea conqueror
On Sunday the traditional Brazilian club Flamengo is waiting in Miami Gardens, which had also conquered Chelsea FC in Group D (3-1). In the quarter-finals there would be a duel with Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain or Inter Miami around Lionel Messi.
“We played really well in the second half, but that’s football. If you don’t use the chances, you will pay the price”said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany. It will be against Flamengo “A hard game. The positive is: we no longer have to play in Charlotte.”
Loud celebrities on Bayern-Bank
The replacement bench was particularly prominent in Bayern. After the progress was already clear, Kompany had chosen the great rotation: Among other things, Harry Kane, Joshua Kimmich, Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, Leon Goretzka, Jonathan Tah and Kingsley Coman were first outside.
However, the starting eleven did not exactly consist of Novices, perhaps with the exception of Hoffenheim newcomer Tom Bischof, who began in the tens position between the foreign strikers Leroy Sané, Serge Gnabry and the central top Thomas Müller.
Nobody disturbs Schjelderup on the shot on goal
Whether it was the many changes that have already been reached or the extreme temperatures around the 40-degree mark in Charlotte (North Carolina)-Bayern did not get going. The game ran forward very slowly, without speed, without dynamics, without ideas. The German record champion Lethargian also had defensive, mentally extremely slow.
At the 0: 1, Raphael Guerreiro and Sacha Boey, when the old star Angel Dí Maria – who had just failed to manuel Neuer – shot his colleague Fredrik Aursnes on track. After a solo over the right, he played into the back room for Andreas Schjelderup, who was able to insert completely undisturbed.
Two half chances at the end of the first half
Even after that, Benfica remained grippy, aggressive and more dangerous. The Munich team only had two noteworthy offensive campaigns shortly before the change of sides: First Sané shot far above the goal after Gnabry, then Müller could not control a good Sané flank. So Bayern went into the break without having brought a single ball onto Anatoliy Trubin’s goal.
Company reacted to this. Of the reservists who had followed the first half in the air -conditioned cabin, from the 46th minute Kane, Kimmich and Olise should participate in the processing of the numerous deficits. And immediately there was another train.
Suddenly chances in the minute
After a brilliant pass, Sané would have had to make a compensation (50th), but shot the Ukrainian keeper. Shortly afterwards, Müller also brought about a return from the best position, then Aleksandar Pavlovic chased the ball far above the crossbar after the best Bayern ball staff.
On the other hand, Neuer had to prevent 0-2 from preventing Kerem Aktürkoğlu after a positional error from Dayot Upamecano against Kerem Aktürkoğlu before the Bavarians cheered for the first time. Kimmich had made a supposed compensation with a whopping 18-meter shot, but because Kane had run out relatively senselessly and the Benfica keepers’ view of the view of the Benfica, the goal was not recognized.
Sané keeps failing
The Bavarians then stayed on the trigger and delivered impressive energy performance in the external conditions. But they failed due to partly dilettant degrees: Pavlovic completely freely in front of the gate and several times Sané did not get the ball from the very best positions.
