Benfica triumphed over Bayern Munich in a FIFA Club World Cup Group C match on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, held at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Andreas Schjelderup netted a goal in the 13th minute, putting Benfica ahead 1-0. This victory propelled Benfica to the top of Group C, qualifying them for the Round of 16. This also marked Benfica’s first-ever win against Bayern, and they will now face either Chelsea or Esperance de Tunis in the knockout stage. Bayern, finishing in second place, will go up against Group D leaders Flamengo.

The defeat pushed Bayern Munich down to second place, but they also qualified for the Round of 16. Boca Juniors was eliminated after a 1-1 draw with Auckland City.

The match took place in sweltering 97-degree heat (36 Celsius). Consequently, Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni required medical attention in the 25th minute due to heat-related issues and was substituted in the 55th minute by Orkun Kökçü.

Despite a late surge that included a disallowed goal, Bayern suffered their first loss of the tournament.
