'It's a pity' - Guirassy shocked to hear Bellingham is suspended

Real Madrid completed the Fifa Club World Cup semi-final line-up, making difficult what looked to be an easy passage against Borussia Dortmund.

Gonzalo Garcia opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the tournament, as he providing the finish touch to a neat move. His side-footed finish into the bottom corner on 10 minutes continued his run as top goalscorer in the USA.

It was just nine minutes when Fran Garcia got in on the act. Ex-Liverpool man Trent Alexander-Arnold showed a bit of trickery to work his way through the Dortmund box before laying the ball over to his fellow wing-back.

F. Garcia snook in without being detected by the German side’s defence, and swept the ball home to double the advantage coolly.

Jude Bellingham, denied a faceoff against his brother Jobe because of the Dortmund newboy’s suspension, should have added a third before the break against his former club. He fired wide at the end of a swift Real counter-attack.

It was a much slower second-half, with the highlights courtesy of those coming off the bench. Kylian Mbappe, who was returning from his bout of illness, got involved immediately, while Luka Modric tested the Dortmund shot-stopper Gregor Kobel.

That was until added time. Maximilian Beier pulled one back with a neat finish to capitalise on a defensive error, before Mbappe quickly restored the two-goal buffer with some acrobatics.

Former Bournemouth defender was sent off moments later for taking down the last man, with Serhou Guirassy’s obliging from the spot.

Thibaut Courtois was called into making a stunning save well beyond the five minutes signalled at the end of the 90, finally calling an end to what was looking to be a routine win before a manic five minutes.
