Boca Fights Valiantly, But Falls Short Against Bayern in Club World Cup Thriller
Boca Juniors put up a spirited fight but ultimately fell 2-1 to Bayern Munich in a dramatic FIFA Club World Cup 2025 clash at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium. The Argentine side pushed relentlessly, equalizing in the second half and keeping fans on the edge of their seats, but a late goal from Michael Olise sealed Bayern’s victory.
Bayern took the early lead with a Harry Kane goal in the 18th minute. Boca responded with determination, leveling the score through Miguel Merentiel in the 66th minute. However, with just six minutes left, Olise found the net for Bayern, ending Boca’s hopes of a comeback.
Despite their relentless efforts, Boca now faces a tough path to the next round. They must defeat Auckland City by a large margin in their final group match and hope Benfica loses to Bayern to keep their qualification hopes alive.
The match encapsulated Boca’s fighting spirit—rowing and rowing, only to fall just short at the shore against the might of Bayern.
