The 6 major club cup eliminations were unexpectedly expected, 3 goals in 8 minutes amazed the whole game

A focus match in the first round of the Club World Cup knockout stage was played between Benfica and Chelsea. Since this year's Club World Cup has a higher bonus, the teams attach great importance to it in each game. As long as they advance to the quarterfinals in the knockout round, they can get a prize of US$13.12 million. 4-1! Palmeiras failed to take revenge, and Chelsea secured the victory by 3 goals in 8 minutes.

Benfica is a giant in the Portuguese Super League! But compared to Chelsea, there is still a gap! Among them, Benfica's entire team is only one-third of that of Chelsea. Although Chelsea has performed averagely in the past two seasons, as a giant in the Premier League, its overall strength is definitely above Benfica. So many fans believe that there is no suspense between the two sides and that Chelsea won 4-1. But the game process has been full of twists and turns, which has shocked Chelsea! And many unexpected things were born in this game!

The first one did not expect that the first goal of the game did not appear until the 64th minute of the second half. Reese James scored a goal with a free kick from the left side of the frontcourt! To be honest, I think Chelsea should be able to score a goal in the first half. But Chelsea didn't score until more than 60 minutes.

Rees James scored, Chelsea led 1-0

Nkunku scored two consecutive goals in the penalty area, Benfica was 1-2, Chelsea

the second one, unexpectedly, the game was interrupted due to weather reasons. It is worth mentioning that this is the sixth time that the Club World Cup has been interrupted due to weather reasons. Next year's World Cup will also be held in the United States, and it is almost this time. I guess there will be more interruptions in the game due to weather reasons!

Neto scored, Chelsea led 3-1

The third one did not expect that the game would start again after two hours of interruption! In previous group stages, none of the games interrupted due to weather were held again. Unexpectedly, when we came to the knockout round, the game was interrupted and the make-up match was held.

The fourth one did not expect that Benfica would tie the score in stoppage time. The game started over and Benfica won a penalty in stoppage time. Di Maria used the penalty kick to help Benfica equalize the score.

Palmer assisted Hall to score, and Chelsea scored 4-1

the fifth unexpectedly, Chelsea scored 3 goals in 8 minutes. In the 109th minute of the game, Nkunku scored two consecutive goals in the penalty area, and Benfica 1-2 Chelsea. In the 115th minute of the game, Neto scored a single goal, and Chelsea led 3-1. In the 117th minute of the game, Palmer assisted Hall to win another goal, and Chelsea led Benfica 4-1. Scored 3 goals in 8 minutes and secured the victory!

The sixth one did not expect that Benfica could not succeed in revenge. In the 2021 Club World Cup final, Chelsea and Benfica met. At that time, Chelsea eliminated Benfica 2-1 after overtime. I originally thought that this Club World Cup would be a revenge battle for Benfica, but I didn’t expect that Benfica still failed to succeed in revenge!

Chelsea have advanced to the quarterfinals! Next they will play against South American team Palmeiras, and I believe Chelsea will go further.
