Bayern lost its first match loss of the tournament as it struggled to find a rhythm ahead of the knockout stages later this week.

A heavily rotated Bayern Munich endured a difficult game in challenging conditions against Benfica, and despite a strong fight back in the second half, would ultimately succumb to a 1-0 defeat. This is the first time Die Rekordmeister have ever lost against the Portuguese side.

Andreas Schjelderup scored in the 13th minute to give Benfica a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in scorching heat, sending the Portuguese club to the top of Group C in the Club World Cup.
