Real and Borussia clubs took to the field in the quarter-finals of the World Championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match took place on July 5 at the MetLife Stadium. Although Real and Borussia had competed in European leagues in previous matches, the current teams had changed their head coaches and took to the field with a new lineup.
In the match, Real's head coach Xabi Alonso triumphed over Borussia's coach Nikola Kovach. From the start of the game, Real displayed a fast-paced game and scored two goals in the first half.
Arda Gyuler's precise pass reached Gonalo Garcia, and the Spanish player bypassed the goalkeeper to open the scoring. Ten minutes later, Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross from the left wing found Frans Garcia, who also scored.
The leaders of the Borussia team, especially Bellingham and Vinicius, could not fully capitalize on their opportunities. They missed several goal-scoring chances.
As a result of Gyuler's central pass, Jude Bellingham faced the goalkeeper one-on-one but failed to score. Vinicius attempted to bypass the goalkeeper during a solo attack, but his shot was inaccurate.
In the second half, Borussia's coach Kovach substituted three players. The incoming players – Koutu, Nmecha, and Bayer – showed a more lively performance on the field.
However, the team tried to control the ball for too long, which did not lead to dangerous situations. Koutu was close to receiving a red card but only got a yellow card.
In the final moments of the match, the newly introduced player Kylian Mbappe scored a brilliant goal. After that, Maximilian Bayer struck from a long distance, hitting the crossbar and bringing the score to 2:1.
However, Real immediately responded. Mbappe converted Arthur's pass into a goal with his left foot, increasing the score to 3:1.
In the match, Dinn Huysen committed a foul to stop the speeding Girasini and received a red card. A penalty was awarded, and Girasii successfully converted the penalty, bringing the final score to 3:2.
As a result, Real defeated Dortmund's Borussia team and advanced to the semi-finals. The match clearly demonstrated the strength and tactics between the teams.
Real organized their game well and secured an important victory. Now they will showcase their abilities in the semi-finals of the club world championship.
