Auckland shock Mazembe in Club World Cup

Striker Jason Hayne had earlier scored twice for the Oceania champions from New Zealand, who won two of their three matches in the tournament.

Auckland went in front just before the half hour when Hayne beat the offside trap to race clear, chest a high ball down as he rounded Mazembe's reserve keeper Aime Bakula outside the box and steer it home.

Striker Ngandu Kasongo found the top corner of Paul Gothard's net with a shot from outside the box to equalise for the side from the Democratic Republic of Congo on the hour.

Seven minutes later, left back Kilitcho Kasusula, who had earlier had a good chance well saved by Gothard, gave the keeper no chance when he raced into the box to slam into the net from captain Mabi Mputu's brilliant backheel.

Auckland pulled level with 18 minutes to go when Bakula blocked substitute Grant Young's effort and Hayne blasted in the rebound from the edge of the box.
