We Were Lacking The Decisive Momentum To Score A Goal: Neuer On Bayern's Loss To Benfica
FIFA Club World Cup: After Bayern Munich suffered a 1-0 loss against SL Benfica to finish second in Group C of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer admitted that the German giants were lacking the decisive momentum in the match to score a goal and didn't show the same intensity in the first half as they did in the second.
Bayern dominated possession in the first half, but the German side struggled to create chances. SL Benfica grabbed the early lead on Andreas Schjelderup's first-half strike and got crucial second-half saves by goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin. Despite a strong second-half performance, Vincent Kompany's team was forced to concede defeat in Charlotte.
"Our mistake was we didn't show the same intensity in the first half as we did in the second. We just weren't present enough. Obviously, we failed to score from several opportunities, and the goalkeeper did a great job as well. We were lacking the decisive momentum to score a goal today. We definitely have to analyse the first half critically.
