Inter Clinches Late Winner as Dortmund, Fluminense Secure Four Goals
(MENAFN) On Saturday at the FIFA Club World Cup, crucial victories were secured by Fluminense, Inter Milan, and Borussia Dortmund, while River Plate was held to a 0-0 stalemate by Monterrey.
At New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Brazil’s Fluminense overturned a 2-1 deficit to triumph 4-2 over South Korean side Ulsan. The scoring opened with Colombian midfielder Jhon Arias unleashing a powerful 25-yard free kick for Fluminense. However, Lee Jin-hyun soon equalized from a tight angle, capitalizing on a cross from Um Won-sang.
Before halftime, Lee turned provider by delivering a left-wing pass that Um converted with a diving header. The second half saw Gustavo Nunato restore parity by calmly finishing after intercepting Milosz Trojak’s clearance. Juan Pablo Freytes then put Fluminense ahead with a precise finish just inside the six-yard box.
Keno sealed the victory with a looping header in stoppage time, following a cross from Arias. Fluminense now leads Group F on four points, edging Borussia Dortmund on goal difference. Ulsan sits at the bottom with no chance to advance.
Reflecting on the match, Fluminense’s manager Renato Gaucho said, "We lost our focus at the end of the first half and they made us pay." "We came back with a different attitude in the second half and the win gives us peace of mind. Tomorrow we'll start thinking about the last match [against Mamelodi Sundowns], which we need to win."
