What happened? 📝

After a lengthy weather delay in Orlando, Benfica eventually beat Auckland City 6-0 despite a spirited first half performance from the Kiwis.

Then it was on to a brilliant occasion in Philadelphia as Flamengo became the latest South American side to beat European opposition as they put Chelsea to the sword with a 3-1 win.

LAFC's brief stint in the competition came to an end as they missed a stoppage time penalty to lose 1-0 to Esperance and exit at the first hurdle.

And finally it was on to the headline occasion as Bayern Munich showed why they should be considered the favourites for the title with a 2-1 win over a dogged Boca Juniors. The victory clinched a last 16 spot for Vincent Kompany's men.

Player of the day 🔥

Harry Kane may have been a little subdued in Bayern's hammering of Auckland last time out but against Boca, the England international was at his influential best.

Kane scored the opener with a classically cool finish before laying up Michael Olise for the Bavarian side's late winner.

Stat of the Day 📊

Flamengo's brilliant win over Chelsea was reminiscent of another classic Club World Cup occasion.

What this means 🤔

Flamengo are officially through to the last 16 and will likely finish top of Group D.

That means the Brazilian side will, in all likelihood, face either Boca Juniors or Benfica with the Portuguese side taking on Bayern next whilst the South Americans have a virtual gimme against Auckland.

Tuesday June 24 is the date for your diaries with that one.

Chelsea meanwhile will have to lick their wounds before taking on Esperance in a direct shoot-out for second place.

What they said 🗣️

“I thought that the first half was really good, we should have been 2-0 or 3-0 up for sure; second half got tough, they [Boca] put us under a bit of pressure, they got the momentum once they scored - we kind of shifted it back in our direction, and it is great to get the goal and qualify now”. Harry Kane, Bayern Munich.

“I want to say sorry. To the club, the staff, my teammates, and all the fans watching, I let you down. Another red card… And honestly, I’m so angry at myself. I work hard every day to help the team not to put us in this kind of situation." Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea.

"We played a good game. The first half was very hot, but we created enough opportunities to be winning by more than one goal. Having more than two hours during half-time allowed us to analyse the game in more detail and position the midfielders and centre-backs in a way that we weren't doing, so they could be closer to the opponent and win the ball. We changed players to freshen up the team because it was a really difficult game. It was 6-0, we could have scored two more goals, but it's the right result." Bruno Lage, Benfica.

What's next? 👀

We've got four more games today, starting with a fascinating clash between Mamelodi Sundowns and Borussia Dortmund.

Then it's Inter's turn to face Japanese giants Urawa Red Diamonds. Only a win will do the Nerazzzurri after their draw last time out.

Fluminense face Ulsan with the South Koreans looking to avoid become only the third side to exit with a defeat.

Then the final match of the day sees Mexican club Monterrey face River Plate at the Rose Bowl.
