00:00Chelsea beat 10-man Benfica thanks to three late extra-time goals in an extraordinary club World Cup last-16 match that lasted more than four hours and included a near-two-hour delay for extreme weather.
00:11Goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury Hall in the second half of extra-time in Charlotte, North Carolina eventually saw Chelsea through to the quarter-finals.
00:21The Premier League side had been heading for an uneventful victory, with Rhys James' brilliant near-post free-kick in the 64th minute looking like the winner.
00:28However, with just four minutes left, players were taken off the pitch due to thunderstorms in the area and, when the teams eventually returned after nearly two hours, Benfica scored with their first shot on target to take the game into extra time.
00:42Angel Di Maria, playing his final game for Benfica, converted from the penalty spot in the 94th minute after a Chelsea handball to make it 1-1.
00:50Two yellow cards in the 96th minute and first minute of extra time saw youngster Gianluca Prestiani sent off, the latter for a late challenge on Levi Colwell.
01:00And Chelsea made the man advantage pay eventually, as they set up a Friday quarter-final in Philadelphia against Brazil's Palmeiras.
01:06There was a crowd of only 25,929 in the 74,867-capacity Bank of America Stadium for the game, which saw Chelsea defender Benoit Badiachal injured, he left the ground on crutches, and star midfielder Moises Caicedo pick up a second booking of the campaign to earn a one-match suspension.
