Blues bank Club World Cup last-16 spot, Kiwis stun Boca
Liam Delap has scored his first goal for Chelsea and Enzo Fernandez had two assists in a 3-0 win over Esperance that helped clinch a round-of-16 berth at the Club World Cup. Tosin Adarabioyo scored a header from a Fernandez free kick in the third minute off first-half added time. Delap scored two minutes later, taking Fernandez's pass with his back to the goal, dribbling around Yassine Meriah and slotting past goalkeeper Bechir Ben Said. It was Delap's first goal for the Blues since the 22-year-old joined from Ipswich Town just before the tournament. Tyrique George scored with virtually the last kick of the game at Lincoln Financial Field with a shot that went in under Said. "I'm pleased with Liam, with him scoring for us, but against Flamengo he had three clear chances to score goals ... he didn't," Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said. "The process quite quick with Liam, and the reason why is because we know him, and he knows us in the way we want to play ... and then it's also because he's a very good player." In Orlando, Jorginho scored in the 87th minute to give Flamengo a 1-1 draw with Los Angeles FC. The Brazilians won Group D with seven points, one ahead of Chelsea, with Esperance (three) and LAFC (one) eliminated. Earlier on Tuesday, Christian Gray scored Auckland City's only goal of the tournament, before a 50-minute suspension caused by lightning in the area, in a 1-1 draw with Boca Juniors. The result in Nashville means the Argentine and South American giants are eliminated, along with the New Zealand amateurs. On a humid day with a game-time temperature of 34C, play was suspended in the 54th minute, the fifth weather delay of the tournament's group stage. Boca went ahead in the 26th when Lautaro Di Lollo's header from a corner kick hit a post and bounced in off goalkeeper Nathan Garrow. Gray levelled in the 52nd minute for the already-eliminated Kiwis with a header from Jerson Lagos's corner kick. "It's been a tough trip. We've had some tough results, but I'm just happy for the team and the boys," Gray said. "I think we deserve it. We got a little bit of respect back, I hope." In Charlotte, Andreas Schjelderup's 13th-minute goal gave Benfica a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich. Bayern's Joshua Kimmich put the ball in the net on 61 minutes, but the German club's goal was disallowed with Harry Kane ruled offside. Portuguese giants Benfica finished top of Group C on seven points, with Bayern (six) second. Boca (two) were third and Auckland City (one), outscored 17-1 in the tournament, fourth. With Reuters.

Auckland City FC draws with Boca Juniors as amateur side produces Club World Cup boilover
It might not have been the shot heard around the world but it was a goal that reverberated 13,000 kilometres away when Auckland City FC scored to draw 1-1 with Boca Juniors at the FIFA Club World Cup. Christian Gray, a trainee PE teacher at Mt Roskill Intermediate School in Auckland, rose to meet the corner of Jerson Lagos, a barber, and headed in the equaliser as the mostly-amateur team from New Zealand held Diego Maradona's famous old Argentine club to a draw. Auckland lost 10-0 to Bayern Munich and 6-0 to Benfica in its first two matches, leading to questions over FIFA's decision to allow a team of part-timers from Oceania, it's smallest confederation, to compete with the professional superstars of world football. Even Auckland City's local paper, the New Zealand Herald, joined the critics, suggesting the team had "damaged Auckland City FC's proud 20-year legacy" in FIFA events. "It's been a trying few weeks," the Herald reported after two defeats. "In the past, Auckland City have been renowned for punching above their weight on the global stage, while usually having a couple of outstanding individuals. That hasn't quite been the case here." But Auckland City left its best to last, producing an outstanding performance to the satisfaction of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who was among the crowd at the match in Nashville. "It's been a tough trip, you know, we've had some tough results, but just happy for the team," Gray said. "I think we deserve it. We got a little bit of respect back, I hope. "We rely on volunteers, we don't have a lot of money, so I'm just happy that they're happy." Radio New Zealand described the draw with Boca Juniors as "stunning." "Thanks to Gray's heroics and some incredibly committed defence, Auckland City managed to pull off a result that will reverberate strongly around the football world," RNZ said. The New Zealand Herald branded it "remarkable" and "famous." "The squad of real estate agents, teachers, sales reps, tradesmen, and students would have hoped they could make a mark on the world stage while knowing it was probably impossible," the newspaper wrote. "But they have done it — against massive odds. "Anyone around the football world coming across this result will be rubbing their eyes in disbelief. But it's true. It's all true." AP
