Dortmund triumphs over Monterrey: Guirassy leads to the quarter-finals!
In a thrilling game last night, Borussia Dortmund defeated CF Monterrey 2-1 and qualified for the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup. This encounter took place at the renowned Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in front of 31,442 enthusiastic spectators. Dortmund thus secured an impressive $13.125 million to advance to the next round.
The black and yellow got off to a brilliant start and took the lead in the 14th minute with a goal from Serhou Guirassy. Just ten minutes later, Guirassy increased the lead to 2-0, with both goals set up in an exemplary manner by Karim Adeyemi. But the Mexicans didn't give up and scored after halftime in the 48th minute through Germán Berterame, which made the game exciting again.
Intense second half
The second half turned into a real battle. Dortmund now had to assert themselves against the physical style of play of the Monterrey players. Gregor Kobel, the Dortmund goalkeeper, in particular was able to prevent some crucial scenes and saved his team from an equalizer. Sergio Ramos had a great chance to equalize in stoppage time, but his shot went just wide.
Unfortunately, Dortmund will be without Jobe Bellingham in the quarter-finals, who is suspended due to his second yellow card. Dortmund will face Real Madrid on Saturday at 10 p.m. CEST in what promises to be a top-class duel.
