Inter Milan defeated Urawa Red Diamonds yesterday. They got their first win at the FIFA Club World Cup in their second group stage match.
Inter had to do it hard way. They trailed for the majority of the match, but won right at the end courtesy of a stoppage time winner from substitute Valentin Carboni.
This gave Inter something to really build on heading into their final group stage match against River Plate. They will feel confident they can book their place in the knockouts now.
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.

'Because it wasn't easy today, facing a team who were organized in a low block,' Chivu continued.
'We tried everything to break down that organization. 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.
'From a point of view of character, the attitude, I was happy with the performances from the players who came off the bench,' added the Inter coach.
'They also tried to add something to the group and to the team.'

Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall and an assistant coach ejected from Game 2 of CWS finals vs LSU
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall and first base coach Matt Schilling were ejected in the bottom of the first inning in Game 2 of the College World Series finals against LSU on Sunday. Walker Mitchell was at bat with two outs and Sebastian Alexander had just stolen base when Schnall went to the top steps of the dugout, gestured at plate umpire Angel Campos with three fingers and began shouting at him. Campos signaled Schnall's ejection, prompting the coach to charge out to argue. Schilling then was thrown out. It was not immediately known what Schnall was disputing. Associate head coach Chad Oxendine took over Schnall's duties. Coastal Carolina needs a victory to stay alive in the best-of-three series, which LSU leads 1-0. ___ AP college sports:

Sports play through another dangerously hot day in parts of the US
CHICAGO (AP) — The shade — under the roof and the upper deck, in every dugout and tunnel — was a popular place at Wrigley Field on Sunday. The sunny seats, not so much. Several major league teams played through a second straight day of muggy conditions as dangerously hot temperatures dominated parts of the United States during a rare June heat wave. The PGA Tour was in a sweltering Connecticut for the Travelers Championship, and the LPGA played the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in the heat of Texas. The gametime temperature was 92 degrees for the series finale between the Mariners and Cubs in Chicago. Kids played in the fountains outside Wrigley before going into the ballpark, and the Cubs encouraged fans to take precautions in a message on the videoboard in left field. 'We don't have any secrets,' Cubs manager Craig Counsell said of playing in the heat. 'You know, we'll do the best we can. ... I think it's the catcher you worry about the most, and the pitcher. They get some time in the shade. They get some downtime between innings. People like the umpires, some of the people working, some of the fans, that's kind of who you worry about even more, actually.' Seattle reliever Trent Thornton and umpire Chad Whitson both left Saturday's game with heat-related issues. Whitson was at third base on Sunday, and Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Thornton was doing well. '(Thornton) was doing much better after the game yesterday and got some fluids in him and a cold bath and was doing much better almost immediately,' Wilson said. 'And then, you know, feels really good today again. So thankful for that and glad to see he's doing well today.' Reds manager Terry Francona said Elly De La Cruz was fine a day after the shortstop threw up during their extra-inning loss at St. Louis. Wilson, 56, a former big league catcher, said there isn't much he can do as manager to help his players with the heat. 'We're all pretty used to playing in hot days,' he said. 'Especially in the minor leagues, you play in a lot of hot places. But, you know, this is a little different. This has been pretty exceptional.' At the LPGA tournament in Frisco, Texas, the forecast called for temperatures in the mid-90s — pretty typical for the area this time of year. The windy conditions were more of an issue for the players. There were several cooling areas around the course for fans, along with spots with free bottled water. ___ AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins in Texas and AP freelance reporter Jeff Latzke in Missouri contributed. ___ AP sports:
