Result Mamelodi Sundowns 3 – 4 Borussia Dortmund, Saturday 21 June 2025, FIFA Club World Cup Group Stage

Borussia Dortmund managed to fend off a determined comeback from South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns, clinching a 4-3 win on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at the TQL Stadium. This victory brings Dortmund closer to advancing in the Club World Cup knockout stages, with Dortmund earning 4 points and Sundowns 3 points.

Dortmund found themselves trailing after just 11 minutes but fought back to secure their second win in Group F, placing them at the top of the group with four points, one ahead of Sundowns.

Lucas Ribeiro initially put Sundowns in the lead, while Iqraam Rayners and Lebo Mothiba found the net in the second half as they attempted to come back from a 4-1 deficit in a fiercely contested match played under the scorching midday sun.

Mamelodi Sundowns took the lead in the 11th minute when Lucas Ribeiro Costa scored with a left-footed shot from the center of the box into the bottom right corner, assisted by Tashreeq Matthews.

However, the lead lasted only five minutes. In the 16th minute, a disastrous mistake by Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, who made a short pass to Nmecha, allowed for an easy tap-in equalizer. Felix Nmecha scored with a right-footed shot from the right side of the box into the center of the goal.

Dortmund took the lead in the 34th minute when Serhou Guirassy scored with a header from very close range into the bottom left corner, assisted by Julian Brandt’s cross.

Just before halftime, in the 45th minute, Bellingham, making his second appearance for Dortmund, extended the lead to 3-1 as Williams parried Brandt’s cross directly to him, and he took a moment before wrong-footing the goalkeeper. Ouch!

Tough luck for Sundowns! In the 59th minute, Khuliso Mudau scored an own goal, bringing Dortmund’s tally to 4 goals.

In the 62nd minute, Iqraam Rayners scored with a header from very close range into the center of the goal, giving Sundowns their second goal.

In a final push during the 90th minute, Lebo Mothiba scored with a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the bottom left corner, assisted by Kutlwano Letlhaku. The final score was Sundowns 3 – 4 Borussia Dortmund. Game over, and it’s time to celebrate for Dortmund!

Inter Milan defeated Urawa Red Diamonds in the Group Stage of the FIFA Club World Cup on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Lumen Field in Seattle.  In the final fifteen minutes, Inter managed to turn the tide of a match that was beginning to feel dramatic for Chivu’s team. Following a disappointing draw in their first game against Monterrey from Mexico, Chivu’s squad in Seattle faced a tough battle against the Japanese team, Urawa Reds.

Let’s be honest, the Nerazzurri played poorly for 75 minutes. They were trailing by a goal (Watanabe scored in the 12th minute) and their morale was low. However, hope emerged for the Nerazzurri when captain Lautaro Martinez stepped up with a stunning goal in the 77th minute, marking his second goal in this Club World Cup.

The match reached its climax in the frantic final moments, specifically in the 92nd minute, when young Argentine striker Carboni scored with his weaker right foot, securing three vital points. Now, Inter faces their final group challenge against River Plate, a match that promises to be significantly more difficult.

Urawa Red Diamonds have not been performing at their best, as they head into this game after suffering a loss to River Plate last Tuesday. Their defense has been shaky, allowing goals in their last four away games consecutively. The challenge is set for both teams.

The game …

Not the best beginning! In the 11th minute, Urawa Red Diamonds went ahead. Ryoma Watanabe netted a goal with a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The assist came from Takuro Kaneko. Carlos Augusto made an error on the right, leading to Kaneko’s low cross into the center, and Watanabe’s finish slipped under Darmian’s legs before outsmarting the helpless goalkeeper Yann Sommer!

Inter leveled the score in the 78th minute, making it 1-1. Lautaro Martínez found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner. The assist came from Nicolò Barella, who delivered a cross after a corner given away by Hirokazu Ishihara. What a fantastic goal from the Inter captain! It was a technically challenging move that helped the Nerazzurri restore balance to the game.

 

What an incredible comeback! In the 92nd minute, Inter turned the game around to secure the win. Valentín Carboni for @Inter_en scored with a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. The assist came from Francesco Pio Esposito. Just an amazing goal for Inter to take the lead in injury time! There was some chaotic action in the Japanese area, and a rebound set up Carboni to score with his right foot.
