A match between Auckland City and Boca Juniors will be held in the 3rd round of the Club World Cup on June 24, 2025. The outsider will again lose by a large margin.
Preview: Auckland City vs Boca Juniors
The team from New Zealand won both the National Football League in 2024 and, for the fourth time in a row, the Northern League. Then there was the traditional unsuccessful flight to the Intercontinental Cup (there happened a 2-6 failure in the meeting with Al Ain). And the club won the Oceania Champions League for the thirteenth time (and the fourth in a row) in the spring.
The Argentines have a huge number of titles, but the last of them were taken in 2022. For comparison, the grandee finished in 6th place in the final standings of the previous cycle. Being already in the Apertura 2025, the club, having entered the play-offs from 2nd place in the group, lost to Independiente.
The outsider started with Bayern, and the opponent calmly, without going into a run, won with a 10-0 score. The meeting with Benfica was limited to 6 goals conceded. The Latin Americans started with a duel against the Portuguese and, leading with a 2-0 score, played a draw. There could have been a draw in the confrontation with the Germans, but the club conceded in the 84th minute of the game – 1-2.
