The first half of the Club World Cup 1/8 finals took the lead in two fierce battles, and the quarterfinals were about to show signs. Premier League giant Chelsea experienced thunderstorm interruption and overtime battle, defeating Portuguese superpower Benfica 4-1 and advanced thrillingly. In another South American civil war, Palmeiras defeated Bottafogo 1-0 with the winning goal of the substitute surprise Paulinho. Chelsea and Palmeiras joined hands to become the first team to enter the quarterfinals, while Benfica and Botafogo, the two giants, regrettably bid farewell to this event. The game was played fiercely in regular time but not many goals were scored. The deadlock was broken in the 64th minute, and Chelsea captain Rees James took a free kick from the left side of the frontcourt, and the ball drew an arc and went straight to a dead corner, and the Blues led 1-0.

However, the game was subsequently encountered an unexpected episode - severe thunderstorm caused the game to be interrupted. When the game finally resumed, there was little left in regular time. In stoppage time, the situation on the court suddenly changed, Chelsea defender Gusto made a handball foul in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Benfica veteran Di Maria withstood the huge pressure and took the penalty and hit the buzzer-beating tie! The 1-1 score drags the game into overtime.

Overtime becomes Chelsea's performance time. In the 108th minute, Blues forward Nkunku captured the opportunity with a quick eye in the penalty area, and shot two consecutively and finally sent the ball into the net, and Chelsea took the lead 2-1 again.

Chelsea, with a strong morale, took advantage of the victory to pursue. In the 115th minute, winger Pedro Neto staged a long-distance run, and went to the meeting alone to calmly score, and the score expanded to 3-1. Just two minutes later, Palmer gave an assist, Duesbury Hall added icing on the cake to lock the final score at 4-1.

Another 1/8 final was held between the two Brazilian League champions Palmeiras and Bottafogo. The game process fully reflects the toughness and tragedy of South American football. The two sides had fierce physical confrontation and fierce defensive movements, which led to a long-term stalemate. At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.

After the 90-minute regular time, the two sides still exchanged blank sheets and the game entered overtime. The moment of deciding the outcome appears in the 100th minute. The attacker Paulinho, who came on the bench, got the ball on the right. He cleverly dunked a defensive player, broke into the penalty area and calmly shot low in the far corner. The ball entered the net! With this gold-like goal, Palmeiras defeated Bottafogo 1-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals. Paulinho, the goal-scoring hero, has extremely efficient playing time. He was replaced in the 64th minute and shortly after scoring the winning goal, he was replaced in the 103rd minute, with a total playing time of only 39 minutes.

With the advancement of Chelsea and Palmeiras, two seats have been born in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. The two teams are about to meet again in the quarterfinals. More powerful dialogues between the giants will be staged as the knockout round deepens.
