In another match from the group stage, Benfica crushed Auckland City with an impressive 6-0 result. Angel Di Maria shone with two accurate penalties, Leandro Barreiro scored twice, and Vangelis Pavlidis and Renato Sanchez added one goal each.

The match was severely hampered by poor weather conditions, which delayed the start of the second half by more than two hours.

With this victory, Benfica has 4 points and temporarily tops the group table, while Auckland remains last with a goal difference of 0:16. | BGNES
