📹 Dortmund send Monterrey packing, set up Real Madrid clash in the quarters | OneFootball

In the climate-controlled stadium in Atlanta, Borussia Dortmund took advantage of the "mountain climate" at 21°C and defeated Monterrey 2-1 this Tuesday (1st), in the Round of 16 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

The German team's qualification was built and secured in the first half.

Guirassy's show began as early as the 13th minute, when he received an assist from Adeyemi in the box and finished with style to beat the goalkeeper and open the scoring.

Kobel even made a save to prevent the equalizer right after, but the Adeyemi-Guirassy duo appeared once again to give Dortmund a two-goal lead on the scoreboard.

After the break, Monterrey started to dominate possession and "attack" their opponent.

So much so that, just two minutes in, after a cross from the left, Svensson tried to clear with a header, but the ball hit Aguirre, who was behind at the far post and ended up unintentionally assisting Berterame, who finished into the back of the net.

The Mexicans pressed forward in search of the equalizer and appealed for a penalty on Corona, which the referee did not award.

Later, Berterame even scored, but the goal was disallowed for offside in the play.

Sergio Ramos also nearly equalized with a header that grazed the post, but the score remained unchanged!
