Fluminense dominate but only manage a draw with Borussia Dortmund 📹
Fluminense was superior in practically the entire match held at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey.
But they lacked the "detail" of scoring a goal.
Which ensured the 0 x 0 draw for the Tricolor against Borussia Dortmund this Tuesday (17).

A match that opened Group F of the Super Club World Cup.
And guaranteed a prize of 1 million dollars for each.
Flu SUPERIOR already in the 1st Half
Fluminense took control of the actions right from the start.
They held the reins of the game and had greater possession.
And besides having more volume, they created the best chances.
Arias was - as expected - the protagonist. Engaging in a personal duel with Kobel.
Dortmund posed a threat with Adeyemi's unpredictability.
Coming off a great season, Guirassy tried but was unsuccessful.
Fluminense knew how to position themselves well even without the ball.

With personality, the Tricolor went into the break superior.
However, they failed to make the most of the good football they displayed.
Attempts
The Tricolor's mentality did not change after the break.
The first real chance was from Everaldo, who had the opportunity to finish in a counterattack but opted for Canobbio.
Everaldo forced Kobel into a great save before being substituted by Cano.
Kovac bet on the debut of Jobe Bellingham. And later, they regained more speed on the field.
BVB managed to attack more. And only forced Fábio into a great intervention after the 90'.
📊 Standings and Schedule 📅
Both teams will play again on Saturday (21).

Mathis Albert: The American 16-year-old bringing ‘swagger' to the Club World Cup
The under-14s pitch was not expected to be a big draw. Most spectators at the MLS Next showcase were heading to watch the older boys in the under-15 and under-17 age groups. But in the end, as the LA Galaxy Under-14s took to the field, the scouts outnumbered the casual spectators. When it came to Mathis Albert, word had got around. Advertisement It was December 2022 in Indio, California, and representatives of European sides such as Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax were all curious to see whether the 13-year-old with a reputation for tormenting defenders was the real deal. Albert had already trained briefly with Paris Saint-Germain, but those standing on the sidelines that afternoon wanted to see him with their own eyes. He made enough of an impression that Dortmund, the Bundesliga outfit who propelled Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna to the big stage, became serious about signing him. Two years later, Albert was posing with the famous black and yellow shirt, having moved to Germany. This month, aged just 16 years and 24 days at the competition's start, he is part of Dortmund's senior roster at the Fifa Club World Cup in his native U.S. Albert is the tournament's second-youngest player, after Takeshi Wada of Urawa Red Diamonds, who is aged 16 and nine days, but ahead of Bayern Munich's Cassiano Kiala, who is 16 and 154 days. (The tournament's oldest player is Fluminense's 44-year-old goalkeeper Fabio, who was 28 years old and had played more than 400 career games when Albert was born.) Born in the U.S. to a French father and German-American mother, Albert favored moving to a club in Europe, and Dortmund was viewed as the dream destination based on their reputation for youth development and the legacy of Pulisic. Last season, another young American, Cole Campbell, 19, made his senior debut for Dortmund. Though when it came time for Albert and his parents to weigh up their options last summer, it was not just Dortmund's track record with American talent or a lucrative pay offer that led to choosing them. 'The discussions weren't centred around contracts and status; they were about his profile as a player,' says Jeevi Rai, Albert's agent. 'It was about the areas in which he excels and would benefit the club, and also the areas in which they would help him improve and develop. Advertisement 'They were clear in their belief that he needed to be pushed out of his comfort zone and challenged within their environment of other top youth international talents.' Albert had certainly looked comfortable slaloming past his peers in the U.S. The winger had stood out for his dribbling, speed and ability in one-versus-one situations. While with the Galaxy's youth setup, he made his international debut for the U.S. Under-15s in 2023 and has gone on to make four appearances for the under-17s, scoring four goals with two assists. 'Albert is characterized by his dynamism in one-on-one situations,' is how Dortmund Under-17 coach Karsten Gorges described the teenager to the newspaper Ruhr Nachrichten last August. 'He loves to cut inside as a right-footer. At the same time, he doesn't define himself solely by the hard currency of goals or assists. 'Despite his individual strength, he is a team player. It's about getting him accustomed to the intensity in Germany over the next few weeks and reading his opponent's movements even better.' Albert impressed his coaches at Dortmund with his confidence and maturity, especially when tasked with going up against older and stronger opponents. Early in the season, he was played in under-19 matches to see how he would respond and adapt. 'While physically there were challenges, the one thing that stood out to all was that he was relentless and intentional in everything he attempted to do on the field,' says Rai. Congratulations to my client Mathis Albert on inking an extension with Borussia Dortmund! The youngest player at the FIFA Club World Cup… such an amazing achievement. A special talent, so much more to come. #BVB #USMNT #FIFAClubWorldCup2025 — Jeevi Rai (@Jeevirai6) June 16, 2025 'He would take hard challenges but get up and go again at defenders. He found a way to influence matches, including goals in the league and UEFA Youth League. 'Mathis is uber confident and plays with a swagger, of sorts, which is reflected in his skill set and creativity. He's always approached games with a mindset of enjoying the game, which has helped him thrive and adapt quickly in a high-performance environment like Dortmund.' Advertisement That positive first year was rewarded with a new contract last month, and a plan that will see him continue to train with the first team and play for the under-23s next season, along with key under-19 games in the UEFA Youth League. How quickly he is able to follow Campbell's recent example and break into manager Niko Kovac's senior team remains to be seen. But the hard work continues, and his inclusion in the Club World Cup squad is a reward for that dedication, allied with a first year of promise. Albert was an unused substitute in Dortmund's opening group game against Fluminense (0-0). Albert has studied hard to learn German over the last 12 months. Despite most people at the club speaking fluent English, he wanted to navigate around Dortmund more easily and fit in by speaking fluently. But the priority for him — something which is all too easy for youngsters to forget about once the big clubs, contracts and moves come along — is having fun playing the sport he loves. 'I definitely think just having confidence early on and not being afraid to play against players older has helped,' he says. 'And just every time I played to have fun and enjoy it is the most important thing.'

FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Former Chelsea's defender shows masterclass against Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund have faced a disappointing 0-0 draw in the first game of the FIFA Club World Cup as the Brazilian side Fluminense. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on June 18, 2025, 08:22 IST Borussia Dortmund have faced a disappointing 0-0 draw in the first game of the FIFA Club World Cup as the Brazilian side Fluminense. The game was very tight and both the teams were fighting hard for the victor. However, a 40-year-old man defended so well for Fluminense that Dortmund couldn't capitalise on any of their attacks made. Former Chelsea defender Thiago Silva was phenomenal had a brilliant performance and a good first game for Fluminense. Borussia Dortmund were left frustrated in their opening game of the FIFA Club World Cup, settling for a disappointing 0-0 draw against Brazilian giants Fluminense. Despite dominating large parts of the match, the Bundesliga side failed to break through a resilient Fluminense backline led by the evergreen Thiago Silva. At 40 years of age, the former Chelsea and PSG star rolled back the years with a defensive masterclass. Silva was everywhere at the back — winning 9 duels, making 7 clearances, 3 interceptions, and dominating in the air with 8 aerial duels won. His leadership and positioning proved to be the difference on a night where Dortmund's attacking efforts lacked the final touch. The game was tightly contested, with both sides fighting tooth and nail for control, but neither team could find the breakthrough. Dortmund will feel they missed an opportunity to start their campaign with three points, while Fluminense will take confidence from a disciplined and gritty performance.
