Dortmund on top and looking to deliver knockout blow
A first-half goal from Daniel Svensson was enough to secure Borussia Dortmund's place in the Club World Cup round of 16, as they claimed a 1-0 victory over South Korea's Ulsan HD. The German side dominated from the outset at Cincinnati's sun-drenched TQL Stadium on Wednesday (Thursday AEST), with the attacking trio of Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha and Karim Adeyemi putting the Ulsan goal under siege in the opening exchanges. The breakthrough finally came in the 36th minute when Bellingham provided a precise pass to Svensson and the Swede scored with a straightforward finish. Ulsan goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo prevented Dortmund from increasing their lead in the first half, producing a fine save to stop Serhou Guirassy's powerful header. Pascal Gross thought he had doubled Dortmund's advantage with a well-struck left-footed shot, but Jo was equal to the task once again. Ulsan improved after the break, finding space as they looked for an equaliser, with Lee Jin-hyun's shot from a difficult angle on the left saved by Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel on the hour mark. Despite continued pressure, Dortmund failed to find the net, with Julien Duranville shooting wide and Jo stopping a Yan Couto attempt in the dying minutes. Dortmund finished top of Group F with seven points, two points clear of Brazilian side Fluminense in second after they drew 0-0 with Mamelodi Sundowns. The South African champions finished third in the group with four points, while Ulsan were bottom after losing all three of their games. Dortmund next face the runner-up from Group E, either River Plate, Inter Milan or Monterrey. In Miami, Fluminense completed a full Brazilian contingent in the round of 16 after their goalless draw with Mamelodi Sundowns secured their progress. Despite being on the back foot for much of the match at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, Fluminense advanced after finishing second in their group. Fluminense join fellow Brazilian clubs Flamengo, Palmeiras and Botafogo in the business end of the 32-club tournament.

Dortmund scrape into Club World Cup knockout stage
Dortmund scrape into Club World Cup knockout stage Daniel Svensson scored the only goal of the match to seal Dortmund's win. Photo: Reuters A solitary first-half goal by Daniel Svensson gave Borussia Dortmund a 1-0 win against Ulsan HD as the Germans secured a place in the last 16 of the Club World Cup. Dortmund's second straight victory by a one-goal margin, following their 4-3 defeat of Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday, was watched by only just over 8,000 spectators in Cincinnati, among them US Vice President JD Vance and Ffia chief Gianni Infantino. It means Dortmund qualify for the last 16 as winners of Group F, while Fluminense go through behind them in second after holding off Sundowns in a goalless stalemate played at the same time in Miami. "We can be satisfied. I think our performance was better than in the first two matches," said Dortmund coach Niko Kovac. He has spoken regularly at the tournament about the difficulties posed by the searing June heat in the United States, and this was another game played in sweltering mid-afternoon conditions. "We keep saying the same thing. What the boys are doing is incredible. Thirty-six degrees Celsius and 43 degrees in the stadium. This is incredible," Kovac said. "Even if you just stand around it can get very taxing but I think they are doing a great job," he added. "Now we have a day off and I hope the players recover for the next match." Kovac only made two changes to his starting line-up as Karim Adeyemi and Julian Ryerson came in, while Jobe Bellingham kept his place in the team. The Bundesliga giants should have won by a greater margin on another hot day in Cincinnati, but Serhou Guirassy was denied by a good Jo Hyeon-woo save on 27 minutes. Bellingham then fizzed a volley just over from an Adeyemi cross moments later, but the crucial goal arrived on 36 minutes – soft defending by Ulsan saw the Koreans lose possession on the edge of their own box before Bellingham teed up Svensson and the Swede fired in low on his left foot. Guirassy, who has had a prolific season, should have scored in first-half stoppage time with a header from close range which was straight at the goalkeeper. Dortmund's Gregor Kobel was then called into action on the hour mark to deny Lee Jin-hyun, while Yan Couto came close to making it 2-0 late on. Kovac's team will now play their last-16 tie in Atlanta next Tuesday and will find out the identity of their opponents later on Wednesday when Group E concludes. "Now we have to leave everything on the pitch. The stakes are high. It is about prestige and money. I think we will see an increase in quality," said Kovac. Ulsan go home with three defeats from three games, while Fluminense are through, meaning all four Brazilian teams in the competition have progressed to the knockout phase. Conditions were also tough in Miami, where captain Jhon Arias flashed a shot across the face of goal and wide for Fluminense late in the first half. German Cano came close for the Rio de Janeiro side after the break, while Sundowns enjoyed more of the possession over the 90 minutes but could not get the win they needed to progress in front of a crowd of 14,312. Their exit means none of the four African clubs who came to the tournament will feature in the last 16, but Sundowns' performances mean they can go home with their heads held high. "We are not happy. We had a clear objective in this match, but I am very proud of the level the players performed at," said the South African champions' coach, Miguel Cardoso. "We leave and go home with our heads up because we are much stronger than we were when we came here," he added. (AFP)
