Tuesday (24) was another exciting day at the 2025 Club World Cup, with Bayern losing, Boca Juniors' embarrassment, and Flamengo's struggle.
Boca Juniors, so often Libertadores champions, simply couldn't win a single match at the World Cup.
The Xeneizes managed the feat of drawing 1 x 1 with Auckland City - an amateur team from New Zealand.
The all-powerful Bayern Munich couldn't withstand the 37°C heat in Charlotte and was defeated by Benfica 1 x 0.
The final score resulted in Flamengo and Bayern meeting in the round of 16.
And if Benfica ended up leading the group, rival Porto - who was eliminated in the group with Palmeiras and Inter Miami, was met with protests in Portugal.
Flamengo struggled with the reserves against Los Angeles FC and only maintained their unbeaten record thanks to a beautiful goal by young Wallace Yan.
Now, the Rubro-Negro also faced another "tough opponent": the goalposts of Campions World Stadium, in Orlando.
There were simply four balls on the post!
