River Plate ease past Urawa to start Club World Cup tilt
River Plate overcame a spirited Urawa Red Diamonds 3-1 on Tuesday to make a strong start in Club World Cup Group E. The Argentine side overpowered their Japanese opponents at Lumen Field under the Seattle sun, in an entertaining battle. Under 12,000 fans attended the clash at the 69,000-capacity stadium but those who were there, many travelling from Japan and Argentina, created a vibrant atmosphere at both ends of the stadium. "Thanks to all River fans, we knew it wasn't going to be easy to get all the way to here, it's a very long journey, there's no direct flights," said striker Facundo Colidio, who opened the scoring for River Plate. "Nevertheless they made it, they were here and they were amazing with their support throughout the game... "The venue was really tricky, it's not close to Argentina." All six South American teams that have played in the expanded Club World Cup thus far have stayed undefeated. Marcelo Gallardo's River started the stronger and took the lead when Colidio powered a header home from former Sevilla defender Marcos Acuna's cross. The Red Diamonds played their way into the match and River goalkeeper Franco Armani was forced into an excellent save from Yusuke Matsuo, although he was offside. New Real Madrid signing Franco Mastantuono almost created a second for River, with the 17-year-old teeing up Nacho Fernandez, but the midfielder's drive flew narrowly off target. The Argentine, who will join Spanish giants Madrid after the tournament, was otherwise quieter than expected. The Red Diamonds, who won the Asian Champions League in 2022 to qualify as the only Japanese team at the tournament, shot themselves in the foot at the start of the second half. Marius Hoibraaten sent a foolish back-header towards goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa, without noticing Sebastian Driussi sneaking in behind. The striker bravely nodded home past the helpless stopper but hurt himself as he fell and had to be replaced. Matsuo pulled the Red Diamonds back into the game from the penalty spot after Acuna's ungainly mistimed barge on Takuro Kaneko, sending Armani the wrong way. Maximiliano Meza put the game to bed for River with a header from Acuna's corner after he was left unmarked. "Unfortunately we lost today but we're going to learn a lot and take that into the next match," said Matsuo. Polish Urawa coach Maciej Skorza was unhappy with the defeat. "The result is disappointing, what can I say?" he mused. "We've done a lot of work, put in a lot of effort, and the beginning of this game was far from what we expected. "The second half was better but the ease with which we conceded was too much."

Monterrey vs Inter Milan Live Streaming: When and where to watch FIFA Club World Cup 2025 clash, probable XIs and more
Inter Milan will aim for three points in their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Group E opener against Monterrey at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. Earlier, River Plate beat Urwa Red Diamonds to clinch the top position in the same group. Inter, runners-up in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League, are favourites. On the other hand, Monterrey, representing Liga MX, earned their spot through the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League title. Monterrey is looking to bounce back after a disappointing season, with their new head coach Domenec Torrent taking charge after Martin Demichelis' departure. Torrent will aim to bring renewed energy to the team after a seventh-place finish in Liga MX's Clausura and an early exit from the CONCACAF Champions Cup against Vancouver Whitecaps. The team will face a setback with center-back Carlos Salcedo being ruled out due to a knee injury. His absence will pose a challenge to Monterrey's defense. Inter Milan will also play their first FIFA Club World Cup match with a new head coach. Notably, defender Cristian Chivu has taken over the duties after Simone Inzaghi's departure. Chivu's first match in charge is highly anticipated, but he faces immediate challenges as he looks to establish his mark. Inter will be without key players Hakan Calhanoglu, Yann Bisseck, and Davide Frattesi. All of them have been sidelined due to ongoing recovery from injuries. However, all eyes will be on the new additions Peter Sucic from Dinamo Zagreb and Luis Henrique from Marseille, who could make their debuts. Date: June 17 in the US and June 18 in India Time: 9 PM ET (June 17) | 6:30 AM IST (June 18) Venue: Rose Bowl Stadium, Pasadena, California Monterrey: Andrada; Chavez, Guzman, Rodriguez, Arteaga; Ambriz, Oliver Torres, Canales, Ocampos, Corona; Berterame. Inter Milan: Sommer; Pavard, Bastoni, Bisseck; Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram. The Monterrey vs Inter Milan clash in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will be streamed live on DAZN, FIFA's global broadcast partner for the tournament in the United States. The match will also be broadcast live on Channel 5 in some regions. There is no confirmed broadcaster for India at this time.

Soccer-Nearly 1.5 million tickets sold for Club World Cup, FIFA says
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., - Fans from over 130 countries have purchased nearly 1.5 million tickets for the Club World Cup that kicked off last weekend in its newly expanded format across the United States, FIFA said on Tuesday. A crowd of more than 60,000 turned up for the opener at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, which featured Inter Miami's Lionel Messi, while some 80,000 were in the Rose Bowl stands as Paris St Germain beat Atletico Madrid 4-0 on Sunday. Yet some matches have also been sparsely attended, as a 0-0 draw between Borussia Dortmund and Fluminense that kicked off midday on Tuesday played out to a half-empty MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. While Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca described the atmosphere at his team's game against Los Angeles FC as "a bit strange", as a little over 22,000 spectators came to watch at the 71,000 capacity Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday. "This is exactly what the FIFA Club World Cup was created for: a world-class stage where new stories are told, new heroes emerge, and club football fans feel part of something bigger," FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a statement. Designed as a glittering curtain-raiser for the 2026 World Cup, FIFA hopes to build enthusiasm for the quadrennial spectacle among often soccer-ambivalent fans in the U.S., which will co-host the tournament next year with Canada and Mexico. Concerns had been rampant, however, after a lacklustre Copa America in 2024 that played out on sub-par pitches to half-empty stadiums and ended with a fan security fiasco at the final in Miami.
