In the World Club Cup - an incredibly prolonged round of 16 match.

London's Chelsea and Lisbon's Benfica teams spent two hours longer than planned in the stadium due to weather conditions during the halted match.

The English team crushed their opponents 4-1 after extra time and will face Palmeiras in the quarter-finals.

The first scorer among the winners was R. James (64'), but at the very end of regular time, A. Di Maria equalized the score from an 11-meter penalty (1:1).

However, during extra time, C. Nkunku, P. Neto, and K. Dewsbury-Hall gifted Chelsea a victory with a score of 4:1.
