Inter Milan - River Plate 2:0

Inter Milan booked their place in the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stage with a clinical late surge, eliminating South American giants River Plate in a dramatic group-stage clash.

Both teams entered the match knowing the stakes — a win guaranteed progress, while anything less spelled danger, especially for the Argentine side. For River Plate, the margin for error was razor-thin, and as it turned out, even a draw wouldn’t have been enough.

The match remained tense and balanced until the closing stages, when Inter stepped up and delivered a ruthless double blow. Two goals in quick succession shattered River’s hopes, sending the Buenos Aires outfit packing and propelling the Italian champions into the next round.
