Despite the 6-0 win, Benfica rocked by ugly row between coach and player 🤬📹 | OneFootball

Benfica defeated Auckland City 6 x 0 and took over - at least temporarily - the lead of Group C.

All joy, right? Not quite...

The game was marked by an UGLY argument between coach Bruno Lage and midfielder Orkun Kökçü during the match.

The DRAMA started when Lage took off the number 10, who left complaining and gesturing a lot - apparently cursing.

Benfica was winning 2 x 0. The NEXT MINUTE, Renato Sanches (who had just replaced Kökçü) scored the 3 x 0.

Then Bruno Lage turned to the bench and, with his hand over his mouth, shouted and gestured towards Orkun Kökçü.

The player, of course, didn't like it. Lage and Kökçü pointed fingers at each other's faces, and the coach made a silence gesture.

The video below shows the beginning of the drama and the coach's reaction after the 3 x 0. Watch in the images from DAZN:

Benfica, now, will follow Bayern Munich x Boca Juniors, at 10pm (Brasília time) this Friday (20).

Regardless of the result, Benfica will remain in the qualifying zone.

And, in the next and decisive round, Benfica will face Bayern, on Tuesday (24), at 4pm, at the Bank of America Stadium.

Will Kökçü be a starter?
