Angel Di Maria leads Benfica past Auckland City 6-0 in Club World Cup
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Ángel Di María and Leandro Barreiro each scored two goals Friday to help Benfica rout Auckland City 6-0 in a Club World Cup game that was delayed at halftime because of thunder and lightning. Di María, who teamed with Lionel Messi to win the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, scored his first goal from the penalty spot deep into added at the end of the first half. His second score, and the team's sixth, was again from the penalty spot and deep in added time at the end of the match. Auckland City exchanged counterattacks with the Portuguese powerhouse in the first half of the Group C match, but was still outshot 18-1. The second half went Benfica's way. Vangelis Pavlidis made it 2-0 in the 53rd minute, Renato Sanches added a third a short time later and Barreiro then scored a pair of goals to increase the lead to 5-0. A thunderstorm delayed the start of the second half for more than two hours. When the match resumed, the goals came pouring in for Benfica. Key moment Auckland midfielder Tong Zhou went down with an apparent head injury just before halftime. Trainers attended to Zhou on the field, and Benfica defender Alvaro Carreras complained about the delay. He was given a yellow card after a spat with game officials. Takeaways With the win, Benfica has four points in Group C. Bayern Munich, which beat Auckland City 10-0 in its opening match, plays Boca Juniors later Friday in Miami Gardens. ___ AP soccer:

Switzerland debutant Alvyn Sanches has season-ending injury likely delaying transfer from Lausanne
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Switzerland midfielder Alvyn Sanches will be sidelined for several months after being hurt less than 30 minutes into his international debut, his club Lausanne-Sport said Sunday. The long-term injury for the 22-year-old Sanches will likely stop an expected high-profile transfer in the summer offseason. Sanches injured a knee in a tackle deep into stoppage time of Switzerland's 1-1 draw in a friendly at Northern Ireland on Friday. Lausanne confirmed Sunday its star player has ruptured an ACL. Sanches got his Swiss national-team call in a breakout season having played in all 28 Swiss Super League games for Lausanne, scoring 12 goals. The France-born player with Portuguese family ties had been widely linked to a move from Switzerland after the season. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press
