The most violent match since the beginning of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025

TPO - Many goals, many red cards and also many spectators, that's what fans can mention about the match between Boca Juniors and Benfica in Group C of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 that just ended this morning.

While some matches have seen empty stands, the clash between the less popular Boca Juniors and Benfica was filled to over 90% capacity. The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami has 64,000 seats and the match on the morning of June 17 saw over 60,000 people in attendance.

And on the pitch, both clubs did not disappoint their fans when they gave a match full of "spice". First were the consecutive goals. Within 6 minutes from 21 to 27, Boca Juniors scored 2 goals to take the lead.

But at the end of the first half, the referee awarded Benfica a penalty. This was a controversial situation, causing Ander Herrera to react strongly from the bench. The former MU midfielder was sent off by the referee but he did not accept it. Herrera argued with the security forces, causing the match to be interrupted.

The red card may not have affected the match as Herrera was on the Boca bench, but in the 72nd minute, a player on the pitch had to “take an early shower”. After a foul on the opponent, Andrea Belotti was sent off. Initially, the referee gave him a yellow card but then he consulted VAR and “gave” the Benfica striker a red card.

The game continued to be exciting in the final minutes. In the 84th minute, despite playing with one less player, Benfica equalized. Otamendi scored against one of his most hated teams. The drama reached its climax in the 89th minute. Jorge Figal committed a serious foul and was immediately sent off. The two sides clashed, interrupting the match.

The match ended 2-2. Boca Juniors and Benfica are making it difficult for each other in the race for a ticket to the next round because in the next match, they have to face the strongest team in the group, Bayern.
