Andreas Schjelderup, a 21-year-old winger from Norway, scored the decisive goal for Benfica against Bayern Munich in the 2025 Club World Cup, securing an early lead. His right-footed finish from a Fredrik Aursnes cross marked his first goal in the tournament, showcasing his talent in high-stakes play. With this victory, Benfica positioned themselves favorably for the knockout stages, while Bayern, already qualified but resting key players, struggled to break through Benfica's well-organized defense. Expert analysis suggested Benfica might employ a defensive strategy to prevent Bayern's attacks in forthcoming matches.
It’s great work from Aursnes, overlapping [Angel] Di Maria. It’s a very good finish on his weaker foot. He sees it all the way, the concentration on his face.
Now they don’t have to go chasing. They can sit in their two banks or four or five [in defence and midfield] and just invite Bayern to play through or go around them.
