📸 Dream debut for Bellingham: Shines in first Borussia Dortmund start
Jobe Bellingham has been with BVB for just a week and a half, and the Briton is already fully in focus. In the second game at the Club World Cup against Mamelodi Sundowns, the new number 77 is already in the BVB starting lineup. And after 45 minutes, he has already repaid the trust of coach Niko Kovač.

After a disastrous start and a 0-1 deficit, Bellingham, who had been very pale until then, and BVB recovered. The Dortmund team turned the game around and are now leading 4-1. And that's also thanks to the new midfield engine from the island. Bellingham scored the third goal for the Borussians and thanked Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams for his help, who let the ball slip through.

Anyway, it's a dream start for Jobe Bellingham, who is following in the big footsteps of his brother Jude at BVB. Jobe also doesn't hold back when it comes to goal celebrations, which is reminiscent of his brother.
The hype surrounding the young Bellingham is unlikely to decrease due to the goal. And that's despite the fact that the midfielder's performance still looks a bit rusty, just like BVB as a whole. Nevertheless, it's making us want to see more Bellingham action.
The fourth Dortmund goal was an own goal, and shortly after, Iqraam Rayners scored to make it 2:4 (62').

📸 Major embarrassment avoided? BVB caught out but hit back
Mamelodi Sundowns. Someone who was previously a completely blank slate for European football fans could now really make a name for themselves. The South African champion is currently playing in the Club World Cup against none other than Borussia Dortmund and is giving BVB a real headache. You can sign up for DAZN to watch every game of the FIFA Club World Cup for free. Advertisement The Sundowns were the better team in the early stages of the second group game and even took a 1-0 lead. And that was with great help from Dortmund. Lucas Ribeiro went through the Borussia defense without any resistance and was allowed to score the 1-0 goal. Ribeiro started in his own half. And suddenly the Brazilian was completely alone in front of Gregor Kobel and scored. A catastrophic mistake by the BVB defense. But a gift was also given on the other side. Mamelodi goalkeeper Ronwen Williams was passed the ball in his own penalty area and what followed was an absolute blackout. He pushed the ball without any pressure to Felix Nmecha, who only had to score into the empty goal. BVB now seems to have finally recovered from the initial shock. Serhou Guirassy scored with a header in the 34th minute to make it 2-1. Jobe Bellingham increased the score to 3-1 just before the break. Advertisement Have the Dortmund players averted the embarrassment and can now take over? Currently, it looks that way. Or will the Sundowns come back again and sniff out the mega-sensation?

Three key takeaways from Inter's win over Urawa
Mission accomplished for the Nerazzurri. Opposed to Urawa for their 2nd Club World Cup match, Chivu's men won 2-1. Not necessarily a firework, but three ultra-precious points. Here's what to remember. ✅ An expected reaction After a disappointing draw against Monterrey (1-1), Inter had to show a different face. And that's what we saw. More aggressive, more technically sound, the Italians took control of the match from the first minutes. Result? Two goals, solid management... and confidence returning at the right time. 🎩 The Italian style Mastery. Pressing. Patience. Inter didn't reinvent the wheel, but applied their recipe to the letter. Chivu had asked for more verticality, his players responded. Special mention to Lautaro, always clutch, and the defensive partnership, which held up despite the pressure at the end of the match. It's clean. It's serious. It's Inter. 💥 Character, finally! When Urawa reduced the score on a penalty, we could have seen Inter tremble. But no. Heads remained cool, passes were simple, the block remained compact. A boss attitude, even if everything is not yet perfect. And that's a good sign for the rest. River Plate arrives, strong from their victory against Monterrey. The real test is now. But with this victory in their pocket, Inter can move forward with their heads held high. Advertisement Inter is gaining momentum. It's not yet a great show, but the lights are green. And it smells like serious matches to come...
