However, Inter had to do it the hard way.
For much of the first half, the Nerazzurri were held at arm's length by Urawa Red Diamonds.
Particularly after the Japanese side went ahead early on, Inter dominated the ball but struggled to turn it into any particularly dangerous chances.

The 27-year-old had come into the lineup after being a substitute against Monterrey.
However, Dimarco showed little of why he is a key player for Inter.
There were no particularly dangerous crosses or deliveries from set pieces from the Italian international.
Then, defensively Dimarco was partly culpable for the breakdown on Inter's right side that allowed Urawa to score their opening goal.

Italy Star Praises Inter Milan FIFA Club World Cup Hero: ‘Hope He Stays With Us'
Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni says that he's hoping Valentin Carboni stays at the Nerazzurri. The 26-year-old spoke to InterTV after yesterday's win over Urawa Red Diamonds, via FCInterNews. Carboni was the scorer of the dramatic late winner in the Club World Cup clash. Advertisement Valentin Carboni was not the likeliest hero for Inter Milan against Urawa Red Diamonds. The Argentine is only just coming back from an ACL tear that has kept him out since October. But it was Carboni who Inter coach Cristian Chivu turned to late in the Nerazzurri's Club World Cup match against Urawa Red Diamonds. When Chivu threw the 20-year-old on off the bench, Inter were trailing 0-1 in the Club World Cup group stage clash. However, Lautaro Martinez was able to find the equalizer for Inter. From then on, it looked as though the Nerazzurri would be settling for a point. However, it was Carboni who found himself with the ball at his feet inside the penalty area in stoppage time. And the Argentine showed great technique and composure to tuck the ball into the far corner. Alessandro Bastoni: 'Hope Valentin Carboni Stays At Inter Milan' SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 21: Valentin Carboni #45 of FC Internazionale Milano celebrates after scoring his team's second goal during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between FC Internazionale Milano and Urawa Red Diamonds at Lumen Field on June 21, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) Now the big question is whether Carboni will stay at Inter or leave on another loan this summer. Advertisement Nerazzurri defender Alessandro Bastoni called Carboni 'a great player.' 'He's already shown that. Then unfortunately last season he got an injury that stopped his growth a bit.' 'But he has unique characteristics that we don't have in the squad,' Bastoni said of the Argentine. 'We hope that he can use this Club World Cup as a platform to stay with us.' Then, Bastoni commented on Inter's last Club World Cup group stage match. Watch Inter Milan vs River Plate for FREE with DAZN on any device! 'Our minimum objective is to get our of the group,' said the 26-year-old. 'Because we didn't come here on vacation. We really want to do well after a really difficult end to the season.' 'Between Inter and the national there were some bad defeats,' Bastoni admitted. 'But I repeat: we're here to fight. And we really want to get to the next round.'

Reaching the knockout rounds feels like the least Inter could do in the US. This tournament comes after an end to the season that saw Inter miss out on both the Serie A title and the Champions League. Chivu Hopes Win Vs Urawa Reds Can 'Break The Negativity' For Inter LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 11: Head coach Cristian Chivu of FC Internazionale Milano after disembarking at Los Angeles International Airport for FIFA Club World Cup 2025 on June 11, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

Both in the first and the second half.' 'I'm also happy because this is the first win for me after a few weeks,' the new Inter coach continued. 'We could have gotten more in the last few months. But that's how football is.' 'So we had to do something to break some of the negativity that's been building up,' Chivu added.

'They also tried to add something to the group and to the team.'

Exclusive: Fiorentina identify next Italian talent after Fazzini
Football Italia understands that Fiorentina are interested in securing a deal with Ligue 1 side OSG Nice for the transfer of former Empoli centre-back Mattia Viti after all-but wrapping up a deal for Jacopo Fazzini, who has also come through the ranks at the Stadio Castellani. Fiorentina identify Viti for defensive reinforcement Football Italia can reveal that Fiorentina have set their sights on 23-year-old centre-back Viti, who spent the 2024-25 season on loan with Empoli from parent club Nice. Advertisement Viti came through the Empoli youth ranks before moving to France in a €13m deal in 2022. He has since returned to Italy for two separate loan spells with Sassuolo in 2023-24 and with boyhood side Empoli in 2024-25. EMPOLI, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 14: Mattia Viti of Empoli FC greets the fans after during the Serie A match between Empoli and Juventus at Stadio Carlo Castellani on September 14, 2024 in Empoli, Italy. (Photo by) While Empoli had an option to buy clause included in their loan deal for the season just gone, that will not be activated following the club's relegation to Serie B. Fiorentina have a concrete interest in picking up Viti in the summer transfer window, and could potentially go all the way to finding an agreement with Nice. The former Italy U21 international has two years remaining on his current contract with Nice, which runs until the summer of 2027. Fiorentina, who have a deal in place for Fazzini, also from Empoli, are understood to be focused on quality young players heading into the summer transfer window.
