Real Madrid are leading Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in the last Club World Cup quarter-final at MetLife Stadium.
Gonzalo Garcia scored in the 10th minute for his fourth goal of the tournament, justifying his selection over Kylian Mbappe. And the other Garcia, Fran, added the second goal soon after, finishing nicely from Trent Alexander-Arnold's low cross.
There was a chaotic ending to the match with Maximilian Beier and Kylian Mbappe exchanging superb volleys before Dean Huijsen was sent off for denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity. Serhou Guirassy stepped up and scored the penalty.
This game is a repeat of the 2024 Champions League final with a place in the semi-final against PSG on the line.

Winning 3-1 and in stoppage time you can never do that. First big mistake by Huijsen as a Real Madrid player, very important because his absence would be very important against an opponent like PSG in the semi-final.
Bad game to leave early. We have had two goals and a penalty so far in added time.

After a second half that saw very little happen, everything is happening in stoppage time! Guirassy is suddenly in on Madrid's goal and Huijsen pulls him down. The ref immediately shows him a straight red card, meaning he'll be suspended for the semi-final!

Mbappe surely seals Madrid's place in the semi-final with his first goal of the tournament! It was some finish, an acrobatic scissor kick at the back post.
90+2' Real Madrid 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund have a bit of hope! Beier collects a loose ball in the box and fires it into the far corner of the net with a lovely shot. He doesn't celebrate one bit, nor does he race back to the halfway line. I wonder how much belief he has that Dortmund can find another goal in the closing minutes…
