    Can’t imagine the amount of shit-talking Boca fans are about to receive for not being able to beat a semi-pro team.

      • quiksilver123👤211 hours ago

        River is absolutely #1 followed by all the Brazilian teams. It’ll be years before they live this one down.

    Auckland FC needs to go pro what a performance.

    • MatteBlack84👤211 hours ago

      Auckland FC are a different team who are already a pro A-league team, you just watched Auckland City FC, the non-pro auckland team that play against local suburbs at the local park each week and have a $150NZD per week player wage cap, hold Boca Juniors led by Cavani to a draw. Boom!

      They’ve been 3rd at a Club World Cup before though

  • Many-Inflation5544👤1912 hours ago

    Boca not beating a semi amateur team says everything you need to know about how hard this club has fallen off.

    • Hungry-Class9806212 hours ago

      And it would be even worse if the semi amateur team didn’t scored an OG

    • Ugandan_Red_Sonic612 hours ago

      Worst Boca since… ????

    Anything over a minute of added time is a disgrace in my book

    • HacksawJimDGN👤212 hours ago

      Should be 40 mins of added time with all the stoppages due to weather.

  • AwareofAnaLucia512 hours ago

    Sure. One team is amateur, but the other is U19. So, I think it’s kind of fair.

  • Ugandan_Red_Sonic512 hours ago

    Boca players are so nice, they’re trying to give balls to the crowd.

  • fbi-please-open-door🇵🇹912 hours ago

    Some of these players are a bit old for these academy teams, you’d think they’d at least get some playtime for Boca Seniors.

    • hapiscan012 hours ago

      Most of them are from Argentina. I highly doubt that they’d be tempted to move to Hong Kong just for playing for a second division team.

  • RobinBerkeAlmasulu512 hours ago

    This is embarrassing for Boca

  • dejvipasco612 hours ago

    Merentiel deserves a positive grade for what he’s done in this tournament. The only bright spot in their lineup. The rest were really mediocre.

    • heitorbaldin2312 hours ago

      Para ser honesto, do mesmo jeito que era de fato o pior Porto dos últimos 40 anos, esse é o pior Boca dos últimos 20.

      Todos estavam certos a final.

    River will have 🍿 for years

  • gh0st_512 hours ago

    $1m if Auckland can hold on but apparently they have to share their winnings with their FA.

    Nice save from Garrow there

  • AKTUR_KOGLU🇵🇹812 hours ago

    Creo que para un equipo de nivel amateur hasta que les fue bien y, dada la calidad de los jugadores y el nivel táctico, incluso tuvieron resultados impresionantes en un torneo de este tipo. Pero la eliminación era obvia desde el principio.

    En cuanto al equipo de Auckland, por su parte, tampoco fue malo.

    • stiveooo🇯🇵212 hours ago

      Malo? siendo el peor equipo?

    Of course Auckland City would struggle, they are not used with the heat like Boca. Otherwise they’d be winning

  • Jacinto2702412 hours ago

    Garrow for Pumas, we need a good goalkeeper.

  • anarchy_euphoric1512 hours ago

    i hope this auckland keeper gets a big move after this tourney.

    • PerfectAsk5336👤112 hours ago

      hes making solid blocks but doesnt seem that good

    • Jacinto2702112 hours ago

      He’s 20, I hope so too.

    • nufan99812 hours ago

      Chelsea probably preparing that 100M offer

  • Ertai2000512 hours ago

    Garrow! Nice save!

  • AwareofAnaLucia2112 hours ago

    The amount of money that is being lost tonight is incredible.

    • thebrickgrinder212 hours ago

      They deserve to lose their money if they had Boca in their ticket.

      Subscribe when Auckland win the game.

      The betting odds were 180.

    LMAOOOOOO THE SPRINKLERS

    • hapiscan212 hours ago

      Were those on accident? I have the match muted. They looked kinda confused. Or is it for cooling break or seomthing?

      • stiveooo🇯🇵212 hours ago

        prob they had a timer

  • PerfectAsk5336👤612 hours ago

    UEFA FC would never draw with Oceania FC. You’ll never sing that.

    is boca like the tottenham of south america? if so i’m all for them drawing lmao

    • PerfectAsk5336👤312 hours ago

      did you just start watching football? how have you never heard of boca juniors?

    • CRZLobo👤312 hours ago

      Unironically, closer to Real Madrid but they lost all the aura left in the last 10 years, they would be current United now

      • stiveooo🇯🇵212 hours ago

        no river is the real madrid of south america

    • superrealaccount2👤912 hours ago

      More like the Manchester United of South America. Massive historical success, but have been shit for a while.

  • Green-Investment1675👤-812 hours ago

    Wtf is a cooling break 💀

    • AKTUR_KOGLU🇵🇹212 hours ago

      It’s pretty common in Europe too

    • justk4y612 hours ago

      It’s just so the players can drink during hot matches, always been a thing

    • RejectedSNick👤512 hours ago

      Been pretty common this entire tournament and in the past lol. Kinda risky to let the players play in the heat.

      • DPinder92212 hours ago

        Bit strange having it after a massive delay break 15 mins earlier

        I’ve seen them in tropical paradise Scotland too. Pretty sure they’re in the rules in most countries nowadays.

  • justalittleahead512 hours ago

    Worst Boca since Galtieri couldn’t conquer Penguin Island 

  • CRZLobo👤612 hours ago

    If Cavani doesnt score today just end his contract

    • zlgo38612 hours ago

      he got subbed out and had a terrible game

  • Tarvkoski612 hours ago

    I understand that Boca has been struggling for a while now, but winning 2-0, or even 2-1, with one more man against Benfica, it’s not a good result to end up drawing. They had everything to advance to the next round, and they didn’t take advantage of it.

    • Ugandan_Red_Sonic912 hours ago

      They would lose the game if the ref gave proper injury time compensation. They actually got lucky.

      • Tarvkoski212 hours ago

        Oh yeah, definitely, at the end they messed up badly.

        • Several_Schedule_785112 hours ago

    The Auckland City player who just came in apparently almost was a victim of the Christchurch mass shooting that shook the world a few years back…… wow

  • Ugandan_Red_Sonic1312 hours ago

    Struggling against actual plumbers is next level funny.

    Does this mean Auckland can compete in the Argentinian league

    Auckland 2-1 Boca, I am calling it right now

    how is this happening lmao

    Btw Auckland scored twice in this game.

  • BayAreaBro👤312 hours ago

    Those YMCA kids look positively overjoyed to be at the match today.

  • Ugandan_Red_Sonic412 hours ago

    Nah, Boca has no idea how to play attacking football.

  • By-Popular-Demand🇺🇾512 hours ago

    Boca is garbage and never deserved to be there in the first place, but their supporters added a lot to the tournament. It’s going to suck watching matches where you can hear a pin drop.

  • zorski🇵🇱512 hours ago

    If I would be one of Auckland’s players and we would manage to finish it with a draw, I wouldn’t shut up about it back home for years 😅

  • aronmarek212 hours ago

    JAJAJAJAJA

  • Ugandan_Red_Sonic512 hours ago

    Why is Boca parking the bus?

    • hapiscan112 hours ago

      If I was Boca I’d try and let Auckland win but not make it obvious. I was humiliated anyways, and a win is, iirc one million dollars worth. That’s good money for Boca, but HUGE money for Auckland. I mean, why wouldn’t I make them a solid? This is embarrassing nevertheless.

      • DPinder92212 hours ago

        Tbf I live in Auckland and its probably awful for NZ football for them to get even more money to put them even further ahead of any competition

    • justk4y112 hours ago

      They’re going out anyways

    Fitting end for Boca in this tournament.

    Not like they wanted to play football anyway.

    • elgrandorado212 hours ago

      Didn’t you get lucky Bayern played their B team against you? This group might have gone a little different if it was Musiala, Olise, Kane, etc. against you in match 2 lol.

      • fbi-please-open-door🇵🇹112 hours ago

        Benfica started the match with Sanches, Prestianni, Schjelderup, Barreiro, and Dahl all of whom are pretty much bench players.

    • HacksawJimDGN👤412 hours ago

      Not like they wanted to play football anyway

      Isn’t this the excuse from fans of European teams every time they play badly?

      • Hungry-Class9806212 hours ago

        I was saying that they didn’t actually wanted to play football. So no… not the same thing.

        Their match with us had only 46 minutes of playing time because they spent more than half an hour faking injuries… so yeah, good bye and good riddance. Won’t be missed.

        • HacksawJimDGN👤-112 hours ago

          1 team trying to win, or a team just not caring enough about the football game to make an effort. I know which team I’m rather watch

      He is saying that Boca will get out becouse another team didnt play well even when Boca did their work… WTF!!!

        Boca chocked vs Benfica and to a lesser degree vs Bayern, but Kompany said Bayern always plays to win and then asked an AI to decide on the team for their last game
