Une affiche entre deux clubs historiques : Boca Juniors, fondé en 1904, et Benfica, créé en 1905. Sous pression après la démonstration du Bayern, ils n’avaient pas le droit à l’erreur pour ne pas se faire distancer dans le groupe C.
Dès les premières minutes, les Lisboètes ont été rapidement dépassés.
⚽️ 21’ : Boca ouvre le score grâce (1-0).
⚽️ 27’ : Les Argentins doublent la mise (2-0).

A cheeky nutmeg, a perfect cross, and Merentiel buries it!
