The match between Bayern Munich and Boca Juniors on the morning of June 21 was extremely tense and dramatic at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, USA. Despite being a championship candidate and having just won 10-0 against Auckland City in the opening match, the German representative could not easily overwhelm Boca Juniors - the most traditional team in South America.
The match at Hard Rock Stadium was heated from the start.
Right from the start of the match, Bayern Munich deployed an attacking style of play with their familiar 4-2-3-1 formation. Wingers like Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry were active, supporting striker Harry Kane.
After many missed opportunities, in the 18th minute, Bayern Munich opened the scoring thanks to Harry Kane. The situation started from a quick counter-attack on the right wing, the ball was hung in the middle by Konrad Laimer and Olise's shot hit a Boca defender before Kane quickly finished, opening the score for Bayern Munich.

Boca Juniors did not lose their spirit because of the early goal. With a 4-2-3-1 formation rich in control, coach Miguel Russo instructed his students to press high in the middle. Players like Equi Fernández and Merentiel created many situations that caused difficulties for Bayern's defense.
In the 67th minute, Boca had a deserved equalizer after a perfect combination, Miguel Merentiel took advantage of the opponent's defender's mistake to coolly finish, defeating goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

The match became suffocating in the final minutes. When Boca pressed forward to find more goals, Bayern took advantage of the space. In the 84th minute, Michael Olise made a classy move in the penalty area, finishing beyond goalkeeper Romero's reach into the far corner, sealing a 2-1 victory for the European representative.

This victory helped Bayern gain 6 absolute points after two matches, officially winning a ticket to the round of 16. However, the Bavarian team has reason to worry when young midfielder Jamal Musiala suffered a muscle injury and had to leave the field after just over 20 minutes of play. Coach Vincent Kompany will have to consider his squad when Bayern faces Benfica in the final match of Group C.
Meanwhile, Boca Juniors, although only having 1 point after two matches, still has a chance to continue if they win against Auckland City in the final match on June 24, while waiting for the result of the Benfica - Bayern match.
