Real Madrid completes golden square in Club World Cup

Thrilling match

In a thrilling match, Real Madrid faced Borussia Dortmund, where substitute French striker Kylian Mbappé scored a spectacular overhead kick in the dying minutes at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, USA. This victory set up a meeting with European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.

Early goals

Real Madrid took an early lead with two goals from Gonzalo García (10), marking his fourth goal in the tournament, and Fran García (20). However, the game intensified in the final minutes when substitute Maximilian Beyer reduced the deficit (90+2), only for Mbappé to restore the two-goal advantage (90+4). Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy scored a penalty for Dortmund (90+8), leading to the sending off of defender Dean Hausen, but the German club failed to turn the tables on their opponents.

Top scorers

Gonzalo García and Guirassy are now tied at the top of the scoring chart alongside Argentine Ángel Di María (Benfica) and Brazilian Marcos Leonardo (Al Hilal) with four goals each.

Real Madrid will face European champions PSG, who triumphed with nine players against Bayern Munich, winning 2-0, next Wednesday.
