Bayern Munich blow it! Harry Kane flops on substitute cameo during loss to group winners Benfica - but German giants now likely to avoid Chelsea in FIFA Club World Cup last 16

FIFA Club World Cup

Paris Saint-Germain

Bayern Munich

<p>Benfica beat Bayern Munich 1-0 to top Group C at the Club World Cup, with both sides qualifying for the knock-out stages. Andreas Schjelderup scored the only goal of the game for the Portuguese side, dispatching Fredrik Aursnes' cross on 13 minutes during a first half which they had the better of.</p><p>Bayern improved after introducing leading goalscorer Harry Kane from the bench at half-time but were frustrated in their efforts. Leroy Sane missed a one-on-one before Joshua Kimmich's effort from distance found the net but was ruled out, with Kane obstructing the goalkeeper from an offside position.</p><p>Sane was denied once more in the final moments before Kane headed wide from a corner as Bayern surrendered top spot and landed themselves in the same quarter of the draw as PSG.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>By winning the game and overtaking Bayern at the top of Group C, Benfica have likely booked themselves a last-16 tie against Chelsea. The Blues must avoid defeat against ES Tunis to secure second spot in Group D and guarantee a tie with the Portuguese side on Saturday.</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Benfica were forced to ride their luck in the second half and had goalkeeper <strong>Anatoliy Trubin</strong> to thank for remaining in front. The Ukrainian denied Sane from two huge chances, produced another fine stop from a close-range Aleksandar Pavlovic effort, and was exemplary in his dealing with crosses into the box.</p>

THE MVP

<p><strong>Sane</strong> will leave Bayern at the end of this competition and will hope to be remembered for better than this performance. The German missed a presentable opportunity in the first half before wasting two second half one-on-ones in the second.</p>

THE BIG LOSER

<p>As it stands, Benfica will play Chelsea on Saturday June 28, with Bayern set to take on Flamengo on Sunday June 29.</p>
