Gio Reyna makes first appearance for Borussia Dortmund at Club World Cup
Gio Reyna made his first appearance for Borussia Dortmund at the Club World Cup, entering for the German club in the 78th minute of its 1-0 win over South Korean side Ulsan on Wednesday.
FIFA gave player priority to the Club World Cup, preventing Reyna from being with the U.S. men's national team at the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Daniel Svensson scored in the 36th minute for Dortmund, who now advance to the round of 16 of the tournament.
After a giveaway by Ulsan on a poor pass near its own goal, Jobe Bellingham centered to Svensson, who took a touch and beat goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo from about 10 yards.
Svensson, a 23-year-old midfielder loaned to Dortmund by Denmark's Nordsjælland last winter, scored his second goal for the German club after scoring in a 3-2 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach on April 20.
"The only thing we could have done a little bit better is maybe scoring a bit more goals, because we created a lot of chances today. ... Football is emotional, so yeah, very nice scoring the goal that turned out to be an important one, also. So, yeah, very nice feeling," Svensson said.
Dortmund won Group F with seven points, two more than Fluminese, which finished second following a 0-0 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns. Uslan was last, going 0-3.
The match on a 93-degree (33 Celsius) day with a heat advisory drew 8,239 at 26,000-capacity TQL Stadium, where the crowd included U.S. Vice President JD Vance.
"I'm sorry for the fans to not meet their expectations. ... The climate like this is too harsh. It is not for playing soccer, but it is what it is. So most teams, I mean, not just only us, we don't feel this kind of weather usually. It is a change of environment," said Jo.

Off the mark: Rayan Cherki will be looking to fire Man City to top spot in Group G tonight (Getty Images) Juventus and Manchester City will do battle tonight for the right to top Group G in the Club World Cup. As expected, both clubs have made light work of Wydad Casablanca and Al Ain. Each side has picked maximum points from their first two games and have the same goal difference of +8.

Having scored nine goals compared to City's eight, it means they will qualify for the knockout stages as group winners if they can avoid defeat at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. Therefore, this is a must-win game for Pep Guardiola's side. Failure to do so would put them at risk of facing Real Madrid in the round of 16 and the Premier League giants don't need reminding of how previous meetings against Los Blancos have gone.

Monterrey advances to knockout rounds at the Club World Cup with 4-0 victory over Urawa
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Monterrey scored three goals in a 10-minute span of the first half and went on to defeat the Urawa Red Diamonds 4-0 on Wednesday night and advance to the knockout rounds in the Club World Cup. Monterrey finished second in Group E behind Inter Milan, which defeated River Plate 2-0 in a simultaneous game in Seattle. Monterrey plays Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday at Atlanta in the round of 16. The match drew just 14,312 to the 89,702-capacity Rose Bowl. Nelson Deossa ripped the ball from 35 yards out that Urawa goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa got a hand on but couldn't stop in the 30th minute to put Monterrey up 1-0. After a cooling break, Germán Berterame tucked the ball into the bottom right corner of the net to make it 2-0. Jesús Corona added another goal from distance that lofted up and dropped into the goal in the 39th. Berterame added a second goal in stoppage time. The Red Diamonds had been eliminated after losses to River Plate and Inter Milan. Liga MX's Monterrey was scrappy from the start. Alphonso Alvarado had a header in the opening minutes that hit the crossbar. Key Moment Sergio Ramos had scored the only goal for Monterrey in its first two matches before the team unleashed their three goals in the first half, sending the throngs of Rayados fans at the Rose Bowl into a frenzy. Monterrey, which started the day in third in the standings, needed to score because goals mattered in the group standings. Takeaways With a commanding lead, Monterrey eased up in the waning minutes out of caution because four players were handed yellow cards in the previous match against River Plate. If any of the four were carded again, they would be unavailable for the round of 16 match. What They Said 'We do not know how we are going to improve on this, but each of us felt lessons and learned lessons individually. So I think we can use this going forward," — Urawa captain Takahiro Sekine through a translator. 'We got a win, that is what we were looking for. There was a lot of sacrifice in the match. It was a tough start, from the very first match until now, they were all tough. So we did grind our teeth and go for it,' — Berterame, selected man of the match. ___

📸 Acuna and Dumfries brawl in Inter-River, Chivu steps in 😱
A high-tension finale between Inter and River Plate at the Club World Cup, ended 2-0 for the Nerazzurri thanks to goals from Pio Esposito and Alessandro Bastoni. Despite the victory and qualification to the round of 16 as group leaders, the atmosphere heated up in the final minutes and after the final whistle. The protagonists of a heated clash were the two wingers Marcos Acuña and Denzel Dumfries, who were already at the center of numerous contrasts during the match. The situation degenerated into a mini-brawl, culminating in a chase at the end of the match and the involvement of staff, teammates, and fans. 💢 On-field clash and rising tensions From the early stages of the match, the game between Inter and River Plate was characterized by intense physical duels and borderline clashes. The competitiveness increased in the second half, especially after the Nerazzurri's lead signed by Pio Esposito at 72'. Marcos Acuña showed increasing signs of nervousness, culminating in repeated fouls on Dumfries that were not sanctioned by the referee. The Argentine winger, unpunished, repeatedly tried to provoke the Dutchman, with the clear intent of getting him sent off for a second yellow card. 🧨 The doubling goal and the final fuse At 93' Inter finds the doubling with Bastoni, further exploding the spirits. Immediately after the goal, Acuña intensifies the provocations and verbal clashes with Dumfries. Advertisement The atmosphere becomes incandescent, recalling the tensions seen in Netherlands-Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar. The two teams face each other with increasing hostility, while bickering and protests flare up between the benches. 🟥 The mini-brawl and Montiel's expulsion Just before the final whistle, a real mini-brawl breaks out on the field. Among pushes, shouts, and moments of confusion, Montiel is sent off at 96' for protests. The nervousness infects both formations, with the benches trying to contain their respective players. The match officials struggle to maintain control of the situation. 😱 Dumfries chased, Acuña restrained At the end of the match, Dumfries runs towards the locker rooms, pursued by Marcos Acuña and some River Plate players. The opposing fans throw objects at him as the Dutchman quickly leaves the field. Only the timely intervention of Cristian Chivu and Argentine captain Franco Armani prevents the worst: Acuña is physically restrained by at least four teammates and staff members to prevent him from continuing. Dumfries, escorted, returns to the tunnel. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
