The second knockout-stage fixture of the FIFA Club World Cup features a Chelsea side that has been unconvincing so far, up against a Benfica team that has grown stronger as the tournament has progressed.

Club World Cup group stage concludes Thursday, leaving 16 teams standing for the knockout round. Complete bracket, results, and schedule.

The second Knockout Phase match of the FIFA Club World Cup on Saturday, June 28 takes place at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., where Group C’s top club, Benfica, goes against the second-place club in Group D, Chelsea.

A group-stage exit for Real Madrid at the first expanded Club World Cup would’ve been unthinkable, before a crowd more than 90 percent partial to the Spanish giants. That contingent would’ve grown uncharacteristically uncomfortable had Salzburg converted any of its half-chances in the first half with the game scoreless.

Real Madrid have booked their place in the Club World Cup last 16 with a 3-0 win against RB Salzburg. The victory was enough for Xabi Alonso’s side to confirm top spot in Group H while the Austrians have been eliminated.
