FULL-TIME IN BOTH GROUP E GAMES


GOAL!

Inter have their second, and with that River Plate will start packing their bags!


GOAL!

Inter have taken the lead just after River saw a player sent off! Teenage sensation Francesco Esposito has put the Italian giants ahead.


🟥 RED CARD

River's chances have taken a another hit after Lucas Martínez Quarta was sent off for a DOGSO challenge!

River are down to 10 men and in need of a goal to rescue their hopes of advancing.


INTER HIT THE POST

Lautaro had the chance to put Inter ahead but his shot came bouncing back off the post! It remains goalless.


Monterrey's flurry has shaken up the Group E standings in a major way!

ANOTHER STUNNER!

Monterrey are now 3-0 ahead and it comes from another long-range strike!


STUNNING GOAL!

Monterrey have broken the deadlock thanks to an absolute screamer from Nelson Deossa! There was simply nothing the goalkeeper could do.

And as it stands, Monterrey leapfrog River Plate into second place and will snatch qualification out from under them — but there is plenty of football yet to play.

And as we're typing Monterrey have scored once again! It's now 2-0 to the Mexican giants.


HUGE CHANCE!

Shūsaku Nishikawa came flying out of his net and after ending up on the ground the goal was yawning for Rayados, but somehow the resulting effort went wide. It remains goalless at the Rose Bowl.


Urawa Red Diamonds nearly scored directly form a corner!


The River fans are making plenty of noise in Seattle this evening, and their side have started well in response. Inter are under plenty of pressure in the first 20 minutes!


Scenes off the pitch 🐶


Monterrey hit the crossbar in the opening few minutes! The Mexican side need to win to advance to the knockouts. The pressure is on early!


And we're underway in both Group E games! Here is the live standings as we get going...

It's about time we turn our attention to the Group E matchups this evening. First, check out the team news from Inter's showdown with River Plate!


FULL TIME: MAMELODI SUNDOWNS 0-0 FLUMINENSE

The Sundowns' dreams of qualification are ended, but what a fine tournament it has been for the South African champions.

Fluminense are through in second place behind Dortmund, but have work to do if their run is to go past the round of 16.


FULL TIME: BORUSSIA DORTMUND 1-0 ULSAN

Dortmund get the job done, and now wait to see if they will finish first or second in Group F.

It could have been five or six, but it will matter little if Fluminense fail to score in the final few minutes.


Dortmund will rue their many missed chances if Fluminense do score and go ahead of them on goal difference.

They have been absolutely dominant in every aspect but the score line.


Rather amazingly, Fluminense have not had a shot on target.

Their game is a few minutes behind Dortmund's, so their is still time for them and the Sundowns to change things.


Time is running out, and it looks like it will be the same teams who started the day in the top two spots going through.

However, Dortmund will be the group winners.


Jo Hyeon-woo makes another fine save to deny Yan Couto.

Dortmund have had 24 shots, 10 on target but only put one past the South Korean keeper.

A mixture of his heroics and some wayward finishing.


20 minutes to go here, and it's all still on the line.

Dortmund should really be out of sight, while Fluminense seem happy to hold on.


Still waiting for a goal in Miami. Can the Sundowns do it?


Duranville fires into the side netting after a fine run down the left hand side.

The 19-year-old is a seriously promising prospect, and yet another to be in the black and yellow shirt.


Bellingham is off just before the hour, with Julian Brandt on in his place.

Niko Kovač has also brought on Max Beier and Julien Duranville for Adeyemi and Nmecha, which shows the array of options the Croatian has at his disposal.


Dortmund are pushing for that second goal which will seal their place in the round of 16.

Fluminense have picked things up after the break, but have still to have a shot on target.


SECOND HALF BEGINS!


HALF TIME!

The Sundowns will be disappointed not to have scored while on top in that first half, while Dortmund will be wondering how they've only put one in the Ulsan net.

It's all to play for.


As things stand, Dortmund are going through as group winners, with Fluminense in second.

That could all change, with both sides still at risk of going out.

Can the Sundowns score? Can Ulsan throw a spanner in the works?


GOAL! DORTMUND INTO THE LEAD!

At long last!

Ulsan lose the ball attempting to play from the back due to some strong Dortmund pressing.

The ball falls to Bellingham, who plays it across to Daniel Svensson, and the Swede's finish is brilliant.


The TQL stadium in Cincinnati has averaged six goals per game so far in this tournament.

Dortmund could have had nearly as many as that already if they had their shooting boots on.


Jobe goes into the book for a rash challenge.

Like his older brother, he's got a bit of edge to him.


AND AGAIN!

Guirassy is in again, but is foiled by a brilliant Jo Hyeon-woo save.

Bellingham then goes close moments later.

Surely, one will soon go in.


ANOTHER CHANCE!

Serhou Guirassy really should do better there.

It's lovely link up play between the striker and Jobe Bellingham, but his finish is lacking at the crucial point.


The Sundowns have had all of the chances so far against Fluminense, with the Brazilians struggling to get into the contest.

A surprise could be on the cards here.


CHANCE!

Julian Ryerson's free-kick should really have been met by the head of Felix Nmecha.

Instead, the midfielder completely misses the ball.

A first Dortmund goal feels inevitable.


Karim Adeyemi almost gets in down the left, but is stopped in his tracks by a foul from an Ulsan defender.


Mamelodi Sundowns have had the better of things in their clash with Fluminense.

They did score three against Dortmund, so will fancy their chances of causing an upset here.


Unsurprisingly, Dortmund are dominating the ball in the early minutes as Ulsan just look to contain.


KICK OFF!

And we're under way!


We're less than five minutes away from kick off in Cincinnati and Miami!


And this is the Fluminense starting XI for their clash with the Sundowns:


Here is how Dortmund line up!


First up is Group F, where three sides are still in contention for qualification.

Borussia Dortmund know a win over Ulsan will send them through, and a draw could also do if Fluminense beat Mamelodi Sundowns in the other fixture.

The German and Brazilian giants are level on four points, and separated by a single goal, so we could be in for a very interesting few hours.
