Real Madrid ends the victory with suffering
Real Madrid has gone from less to more in the Club World Cup in Xabi Alonso's first experience as Madrid coach.
The Spanish team took the lead and took 10 minutes to open the scoring at the Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey.
Arda Guler, one of those who has gained more importance with Xabi Alonso, put in a cross and Gonzalo García finished with his right foot open that left Kobel with no chance.
Garcia adds his fourth goal of the tournament, top scorer, in addition to being the player with most goal participations with four goals and one assist.
The Spanish forward assumed the starting player in the team after the acute gastroenteritis that Kylian Mbappe suffered at the beginning of the tournament.
10 minutes later came the second goal, this time from full-back to full-back. Trent Alexander Arnold put in a cross into the middle and Fran García appeared to put the ball in.
The second half was a formality between both teams until the minutes of added time in the final half.
Borussia Dortmund got the discount with a shot from Maximilian Beier that seemed more to embellish the result, but it was not going to be the last.
Kylian Mbappe appeared in the Club World Cup with a great goal from a half-volley that he dedicated with a gesture to Diogo Jota.
In the last play of the match, Dean Huijsen committed a penalty on Guirassy that resulted in a straight red card. The Dortmund striker made it 3-2. Thibaut Courtois was the hero with a save in the 90th minute to preserve the victory for the Spanish side.
