Whereas Bayern Munich walked almost without effort to a monster victory (10-0) a few days earlier, Benfica had a lot more difficult with Auckland City. The Portuguese did dominated, but there was no scoring. With art and flying work, the most obscure team of this World Championship survived for a long time against Orkun Kökcü and associates.

Only in the injury time of the first did it go wrong and Benfica got a penalty kick. Angel di Maria shot this cool. Since then – at the time of writing almost 5 minutes – both teams have been in the dressing room.
Weather protocol FIFA
This has everything to do with the bad weather in and around Orlanda, where the competition is finished. It meant the fourth case this tournament where the weather conditions ensure an interruption.

The FIFA protocol contains this tournament strict requirements with regard to thunderstorms. If a thunderstorm is spotted within a radius of ten kilometers from the stadium, the competition cannot be continued until it has been pulled away. Earlier this week, the Palmeiras – Al Ahly Al Stillag match, despite the fact that blue sky above the stadium was shown.
The question now is whether FIFA will continue to use this protocol next summer if the Country World Championship also takes place in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
