In the second round of the FIFA Club World Cup group stage, Benfica faces Auckland City. At one point, a player from the New Zealand side completely lost control of his emotions.

Details: Late in the first half, Zhou Tong suffered a head injury, and after consulting with the medical staff, it was decided he would be substituted. The player was clearly unhappy with this call—he began shouting emotionally at the doctors and flatly refused to leave the pitch.

Even after stepping off the field, Zhou kept arguing with the medical team.

Incidentally, thanks to Ángel Di María's penalty in the dying minutes of the first half, Benfica managed to take the lead in their Club World Cup clash against Auckland City.

However, both teams will head into the second half with a delay due to a storm warning in Orlando.
