    Auckland City's amateurs have held Argentina's professional Boca Juniors to a 1-all Club World Cup draw in Nashville, despite shipping 16 goals from their previous two matches

    Auckland City's amateurs have held Argentina's professional Boca Juniors to a 1-all Club World Cup draw in Nashville, despite shipping 16 goals from their previous two matches


    The Buenos Aires-based side had 75 per cent of possession, 33 shots compared to three, 20 corners to two... and even a goal which was disallowed after VAR intervention.



    Auckland City goal-scorer and trainee teacher Christian Gray told DAZN expects the going to get tough on return to his day job at Auckland Grammar School.



    City and Boca have failed to make the knock-out stage - Benfica and Bayern Munich secured the two Group C spots.

    Meanwhile Chelsea will face Benfica next after qualifying second from group D after a 3-nil win against Tunisian side Esperance Tunis in Philadelphia.
