Club World Cup roundup: Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund win

Valentin Carboni scored the winning goal in stoppage time to give Inter Milan a 2-1 win over Urawa in the Club World Cup on Saturday in Seattle, ending the Japan club’s chances of advancing past the group stage.

Inter Milan failed to score until the 78th minute, despite holding the vast majority of possession. Lautaro Martinez brilliantly bicycle-kicked Nicolo Barella’s corner ball into the net. Carboni’s game-winner assisted by Francesco Esposito came 14 minutes later.

It was the culmination of multiple scoring threats by Inter, which had 21 more shot attempts than the Red Diamonds.

“I was speaking to [Carboni] the day before yesterday, and he told me that it was eight months exactly since his cruciate ligament injury,” Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu said. “I’m delighted that he has the opportunity to experience something as significant as that [goal].”

Borussia Dortmund 4, Mamelodi Sundowns 3: Borussia Dortmund was gifted an easy goal when when Sundowns keeper Ronwen Williams inadvertently passed to Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha right in front of the net in the 16th minute in Cincinnati.

Serhou Guirassy scored in the 34th minute and Jobe Bellingham in the 45th as Dortmund took a 3-1 lead at the half before 14,006 at TQL Stadium in 90-degree heat.

The Sundowns opened the scoring on an impressive breakaway that Lucas Ribeiro Costa finished in the 11th minute.

Fluminense 4, Ulsan 2: Juan Freytes scored the go-ahead goal in the 83rd minute in East Rutherford.

Jhon Arias bent a 25-yard free kick inside the right post and under the crossbar in the 27th minute to open the scoring for Fluminense.

Lee Jin-hyun, on the counterattack, put away a cross played by Um Wonsang into a wide-open net to tie it in the 37th and Um scored on a header, off a low ball-in played by Lee, in first-half stoppage time to give Ulsan a 2-1 lead at halftime. — AP
