How did the Juniors of Bayern Munich and Boca take advantage in their opening matches of group C?

Boca Juniors played a 2-2 draw with Benfica on Monday in a fiery meeting which led to three red cards.
The Buenos Aires side was ahead of 2-0 just before half-time, but let the three points slide after wasting the advance to the Portuguese team.

Boca Juniors Ander Herrera and Nicolas Figal players received four-game prohibitions by FIFA after being sent to their first CWC match, a spokesman for the Argentinian club said on Wednesday.
Boca did not agree with the sanctions imposed on their players after Andrea Belotti de Benfica received a ban on two games for catching Ayrton Costa in the head with a high boot in the 72nd minute.
“We have already contacted FIFA to submit a call,” said a club spokesperson.
Spanish midfielder Herrera, who was begged due to a muscle injury, was shown a red card in the 45th minute after protesting against the Mexican referee Cesar Ramos from the bench to a penalty granted to the Portuguese part.
The Figal defender was sent to the 88th minute with a right red card for a fault on Florentino Luis when the match was equal to 2-2.
