Boca Juniors raced into a 2-0 lead in the first half thanks to well-taken goals from Miguel Merentiel and Rodrigo Battaglia. But they were stung on the stroke of half-time after conceding a soft penalty that was coolly converted by Angel Di Maria.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Benfica overcame a two-goal deficit, getting Ángel Di María's penalty kick in first-half stoppage time and Nicolás Otamendi's 84th-minute goal for a 2-2 draw against Boca Juniors on Monday night in a heated Club World Cup match that included three red cards, four yellows and 22 fouls.
