Andreas Schjelderup scored in the 13th minute to give Benfica a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in scorching heat on Tuesday, sending the Portuguese club to the top of Group C in the Club World Cup.

Benfica beat Bayern Munich to progress into the Club World Cup last 16 as Group C winners amid sweltering temperatures in the United States. The match began at 3pm local time (20:00 BST) at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina with the temperature at 36C - and both sides were far from their best in the tough conditions.

Benfica scored through 21-year-old Andreas Schjelderup in the first half, while Bayern gave Tom Bischof the chance to stake his claim as the deputy to Jamal Musiala. Vincent Kompany brought on his bigger names in the second half, and though Bayern improved, they failed to break through.
