Fans “forgotten” Benfica was playing Bayern and should have “believe more” – lage

Benfica manager Bruno Reiz claimed his team was overlooked before defeating Bayern Munich 1-0 to beat the German giants and earning the top spot in Group C at the Club World Cup.

The Portuguese team held back a torrent of pressure in the second half to win via Andreas Scheldelup’s early strike in the closing group stage game at Charlotte.

“Now is the time for people to believe more about the work we do as president, athletic director, manager and as players,” Lage said.

“We were talking about beating Boca with a lot of goals.

Benfica vs Bayern Munich

Benfica finished second in Portugal last season, starting the Club World Cup matchday 3 two points behind Bayern, with Boca Junior taking 2-2 in the opening game and defeating part-timer Auckland City 6-0.

Bundesliga’s champions are undefeated in 10 matches, earning eight wins and three of their 11 meetings with Benfica in the Champions League, beating Auckland 10-0 and Boca 2-1.

“The first half was really good,” said former Botafogo and wolf boss Reige. “We created better opportunities.

“Bayern probably deserved goals, but they could have won the first half 2-0. That means a lot for us. It’s good to finish first.”
