In the Glutofen of Charlotte, a vigorous Bayern FC by Vincent Kompany, missed the group’s victory at the Club World Cup. At 0: 1 (0: 1) against Benfica Lisbon, the tour no longer turned with the best replacement players like Harry Kane, Joshua Kimmich or Michael Olise after the break. Andreas Schjelderup scored the winning goal for the record champions of Portugal in the 13th minute.
The German champion simply did not keep his chance in front of 33,287 fans. A goal from Kimmich did not count (61.), the Konrad Laimer substitute also fired on the post (66.). Instead of playing Charlotte again against FC Chelsea or abroad African Hope Tunis on Saturday at the start of the KO phase, Brazil Flamengo is the opponent in Miami a day later. In case of success, the very big examination against the winner of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain, could follow the quarterfinals.
« It’s a little different from the habit, » said Kompany before kicking off the « Dazn » streaming service for the afternoon burning sun in the American state of North Carolina and the blunt artificial lawn. The Belgian is based on the « energy » of new players – and has protected his best.
Kompany changed the starting eleven in seven posts and, in addition to Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané or João Palhinha, also helped the new arrivals Tom Bischof to his dozens at his beginnings in Bayern. The 19 -year -old, from TSG Hoffenheim, had some good deeds, but he did not act officially.
Regulars such as Kane, Kimmich, Olise, Jonathan Tah and Kingsley Coman remained even in the catacombs of Bank of America conditioned by the airs until the half-time break. What they saw of their colleagues on the television screen was the possession of a very unproductive ball and a considerably reduced pace of play. Benfica put a counterattack and was more determined in the offensive campaigns, in particular with the efficiency Ángel Di María.
The Argentinian, 37, forced the goalkeeper of Bayern Manuel Neuer with a low blow to a first parade (9th). And he launched 1-0 of the Norwegian Schjeldup, which could not prevent the new one. Dayot UpameCano had to thwart a possible deficit of 0: 2 by the Benfica striker Evangelos Pavlidis with a duel on the authorized border (18th).
The Bavarians did not arrive at the first good final campaign after a drinking break, but the Sané, which was called again in the starting eleven, pulled far on goal (44th). The company reacted to the break, brought Kimmich, Olise and Kane. And it did a lot more train in the Munich game. Sané initially failed after an exceptional Kimmich game on the goalkeeper (51st).
The new news was to save Kerem Aktürkoglu (56.). Otherwise, Bayern pushed and pressed for equalization, which Kimmich also achieved. But with his shot, Harry Kane was actively offside. The Sané, who turned into Galatasaray Istanbul, awarded another major chance (88th).
