How to watch Boca Juniors vs Racing Club in the USA

The 2025 Liga Profesional Argentina matchup between Boca Juniors and Racing Club will be broadcast live in the USA on Fanatiz USA. Other options: TyC Sports Internacional.

For the first time in their history, Benfica defeated Bayern Munich 1–0. That result sent both the Portuguese and German sides into the Round of 16, officially eliminating Boca Juniors from the tournament. With the loss, the Argentine side became the first CONMEBOL team to be eliminated in the opening round of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.

Boca Juniors’ elimination from the competition marks a disappointing chapter for the team, yet it highlights an intriguing development under the leadership of head coach Miguel Angel Russo. Just a month into his tenure, Russo has forged a highly competitive squad, earning admiration from renowned head coaches like Pep Guardiola for his team’s gritty and hard-hitting style of play.

Despite Russo’s promising start, Boca Juniors stumbled in Group C, failing to secure a victory against Auckland City, a feat their rivals Benfica and Bayern Munich achieved convincingly. While the team shows signs of progress, they remain a work in progress, struggling to reach their full potential. Key players, such as Carlos Palacios, are still searching for their ideal roles within the squad, underscoring the challenges that lie ahead in their quest for excellence.

Boca Juniors’ failure deepens slump after a challenging season

Since becoming team president, Juan Roman Riquelme has struggled to stabilize the sporting project. Unfortunately, this inconsistency has left the project seemingly adrift. He has now turned to Miguel Angel Russo, his third coaching choice since December 2023. Although Russo has just arrived, he must quickly find his footing. Steering the team forward amidst these challenges will be crucial for success.

Despite Boca Juniors’ struggles, there are still reasons for optimism. Miguel Merentiel and Rodrigo Battaglia have delivered standout performances, giving fans hope for a turnaround. Head coach Miguel Angel Russo, who previously led the club to a Copa Libertadores title, brings the experience needed to rebuild. He is working to establish his identity, as shown in Boca’s strong displays against European sides like Benfica and Bayern Munich.

In the 53rd minute, referee Glenn Nyberg instructed players from both teams—as well as substitutes and coaching staff members—to leave the field and head to the locker rooms due to severe weather conditions: a lightning storm in Nashville, Tennessee that posed a safety risk to the players.

This was a crucial match for the Argentine side’s hopes of advancing. They had drawn 2-2 in their opening match against Benfica and then lost to Bayern Munich, so they needed a win to keep their chances of qualification alive—though that alone wouldn’t have been enough.

They also needed help from Bayern Munich, who had to beat Benfica for Boca to draw level with the Portuguese side at 4 points in the Group C standings. In that scenario, goal difference and goals scored would have served as the tiebreakers. However, none of that came to pass. While the match in Nashville remained paused, Benfica secured a win over Bayern Munich and clinched a spot in the Round of 16 as group leaders, relegating the German side to second.

Boca Juniors and Auckland City return to action

After almost an hour of suspension, weather conditions improved and, with confirmation that there was no longer a safety risk to the players, referee Nyberg signaled for both teams to return to the pitch to complete the remaining minutes of the match. However, the tension on the field was noticeably different, as Boca Juniors now knew they had been eliminated from the tournament.

This isn’t the first match suspended at the Club World Cup

In addition to Tuesday’s Boca Juniors vs Auckland City match, three other FIFA Club World Cup games have faced similar interruptions in recent days. Interestingly, one of them also involved the New Zealand side.

Last Friday, Auckland City were trailing 1-0 against Benfica during Matchday 2 of Group C when the start of the second half was delayed at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida, due to the same weather conditions. The teams eventually returned to the field, and the Portuguese side went on to win 6-0.

Before that, a similar situation occurred during Red Bull Salzburg vs Pachuca on Matchday 1 of Group B, held June 18 at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. And just one day later, the same issue arose in Palmeiras vs Al Ahly during Matchday 2 of Group A on June 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Bayern Munich had a perfect start in their first two matches: they opened with a dominant 10-0 win over Auckland City, followed by a narrow 2-1 victory against Boca. That made them the first team in the group to secure a place in the next round.

Benfica drew 2-2 in their opener against the Argentine side, then cruised to a 6-0 win over the New Zealanders, putting themselves within reach of qualification. However, to secure their place, they still needed at least a draw against the German side. They rose to the occasion, earning a 1-0 win that not only sent them through to the Round of 16 but also gave them the top spot in the group.

Boca Juniors were the other team still in contention for a spot in the Round of 16. They held their own against both European sides, coming within minutes of defeating Benfica and drawing with Bayern Munich. But on Matchday 3, they needed more than just a win over Auckland City—they also needed a Benfica loss. That didn’t happen, and as a result, they were eliminated from the tournament.

Is it better to finish first or second in Group C?

In Group C, Bayern Munich had already secured their spot in the next stage of the Club World Cup, but Matchday 3 was still crucial to determine whether they would advance as the first- or second-place team in the standings. That distinction affects not only their opponent in the round of 16, but also the number of rest days before that match.

With their 1–0 win over the Germans, Benfica clinched the top spot. Paradoxically, though, they’ll face the disadvantage of having one fewer day to rest before their next challenge. The schedule sets their round of 16 clash against the runner-up of Group D for Saturday, June 28, at 4 PM (ET) at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Their opponent will be decided Tuesday night, and it could be either Chelsea or Esperance ST.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, finished second in Group C and will benefit from an extra day of rest before taking the field again. Their round of 16 match will take place on Sunday, June 29, at 4 PM (ET) at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Their opponent is already set: Flamengo of Brazil, who clinched the top spot in Group D after just two matches.

After delivering an impressive performance against Benfica, Boca Juniors still find themselves in need of favorable outcomes to clinch at least second place in the group standings. Russo’s players are acutely aware of what’s required and are determined to showcase their best against Auckland City.

For Boca Juniors supporters, calculators will be a must-have as they track the scenarios that can propel ‘Los Xeneizes’ through this pivotal clash with the semi-professional team from New Zealand. Each outcome today will have profound implications for Boca’s standing in the tournament.

What happens if Boca Juniors beat Auckland City today?

A Boca Juniors victory over Auckland City will still leave the outcome hinging on the Benfica-Bayern Munich result. Should Benfica falter, Boca Juniors must accrue a substantial goal margin to surpass them. A robust goal differential will be crucial for Boca’s progression to the next round.

Currently, Boca Juniors need to net at least seven goals to secure second place, contingent on the goal differential from the Bayern vs. Benfica matchup. For example, if Bayern defeat Benfica 3-0, Boca will need to score five goals to advance, and the calculus continues similarly.

What happens if Boca Juniors and Auckland City tie?

A draw spells elimination for Boca Juniors from the tournament, irrespective of the outcome between Benfica and Bayern Munich. Benfica already have four points compared to Boca’s single point. Avoiding a draw is pivotal for Boca’s hopes of advancing to the Round of 16.

What happens if Boca Juniors lose to Auckland City?

A loss to Auckland City would see Boca Juniors exit the tournament, a dreaded outcome that would place them at the bottom of the group standings. Such a result would be especially dispiriting given that Auckland City has yet to score in the Club World Cup.

Today’s fixtures will determine the next two teams to progress to the Round of 16 at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. With three South American teams already through, fans are hopeful that Boca Juniors will join them and continue to represent the continent with pride on the global stage.
