FIFA Club World Cup: Fluminense scores twice late, topples Ulsan 4-2
Juan Freytes put Fluminense in front in the 83rd minute, and Keno's second-half stoppage-time header sealed a 4-2 victory over UIsan HD in an engrossing Group F contest on Saturday evening. Freytes' winner—his first goal for the Brazilian club—came 17 minutes after teammate Nonato levelled during a contest where the lead twice changed hands. John Arias also scored from an early free kick as Fluminense (1-0-1, 4 points) moved even on points and goal difference with Dortmund (1-0-1, 4 points) at the FIFA Club World Cup, ahead of its group finale against Mamelodi Sundowns (1-1-0, 3 points) on Wednesday. Jinhyun Lee and Um Won-Sang scored for Ulsan (0-2-0, 0 points), which was eliminated with the result. Freytes put Fluminense in front for good after the South Koreans failed to clear a corner, dispatching a composed finish inside the right post after receiving German Cano's tidy pass. Nine minutes later, Keno's header of Arias' cross against a clearly fatigued Ulsan defense sealed the victory. Ulsan struck twice inside the final 10 minutes of the first half to turn an early deficit into a halftime lead before Fluminense leveled at 2-all through Nonato in the 66th minute. READ: FIFA Club World Cup: Inter Milan rallies past Urawa on stoppage-time goal After a flowing move from the Brazilians, Keno's cross from the left was only partially cleared, and Nonato delivered a composed finish inside the right post from about 15 yards out. Late in the first half, Lee levelled for Ulsan in the 37th minute on an exceptional counterattack. Darijan Bojanic's initial pass from just beyond his own box sprang Won-Sang down the right. Won-Sang's low cross rolled across the box and beyond goalkeeper Fabio's dive before Lee met it on the opposite flank. From a tight angle, Lee delivered an excellent first-touch finish into an open goal. It was the same duo connecting in reverse in first-half stoppage time when, after a poor Fluminense partial clearance, Won-Sang met Lee's cross with a powerful diving header beyond Fabio's dive into the bottom left corner. For the opening half-hour it was Fluminense who looked far more likely to score. The lead eventually came through Arias in the 27th minute on his ferociously struck right-footed free kick from 25 yards that beat goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-Woo to the top right corner.

Club WC: River Plate, Monterrey battle to scrappy draw; Fluminense send Ulsan out
Pasadena: CA River Plate squandered the opportunity to reach the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 knockout stages after they were held to a goalless draw by Monterrey at the Rose Bowl. The Argentinian giants needed a victory to reach the Round of 16 but both sides struggled to make any chances in a game littered with fouls and breaks in play. In an ill-tempered start to the game, three yellow cards were handed out in the first half-hour. Lacking any real fluidity, the best chance of the opening half came on the stroke of half-time when River Plate full-back Lucas Martinez Quarta found space after a corner only to side-foot a volley wide of the post with the goalmouth gaping. After the break, River Plate wunderkind Franco Mastantuono brought the crowd to their feet with a curling effort in the 67th minute that was comfortably saved by Monterrey goalkeeper Esteban Andrada. The remainder of the game petered out to a draw, with River Plate midfielder Kevin Castano sent off in injury time after picking up a second yellow card, FIFA reports. The draw sets up an exciting final matchday in Group E next Wednesday. River Plate face FC Internazionale Milano in a crunch top-of-the-table clash at Lumen Field, while Monterrey meet the already-eliminated Urawa Red Diamonds back at the Rose Bowl. Elsewhere, Fluminense FC scored three second-half goals to beat Ulsan HD and earn all three points at MetLife Stadium in New York New Jersey. The loss eliminates Ulsan from the FIFA Club World Cup after they were also beaten in their opening encounter with Mamelodi Sundowns FC. The match began with Fluminense dominating possession as Ulsan were content to sit back and defend. The Brazilian side finally broke through in the 27th minute, when Jhon Arias curled a free-kick from 24 yards into the top right corner to beat goalkeeper Jo Hyeonwoo for a 1-0 lead. It was the third free-kick goal of the tournament, with Arias joining CF Pachuca's Bryan Gonzalez and Inter Miami CF's Lionel Messi. Ulsan equalised with the most surprising counter-attack. They capitalised on a Fluminense giveaway with surgical precision, with Um Wonsang making a long run and sending a hard cross to the far post to Lee Jinhyun, who beat goalkeeper Fabio from the sharpest of angles to make it 1-1. It was Ulsan's first shot of the game. Suddenly, the Korea Republic side were on the front foot. They applied pressure on the Fluminense backline and struck again just before the break. After Fluminense failed to completely clear the ball out of their area, Lee swung a cross to Um, whose diving header in the box beat Fabio for a 2-1 lead. Fluminense levelled in the 66th minute. Milosz Trojak tried to clear Keno's cross, but the ball stayed in the box and fell to Nonato, who calmly tucked his right-footed strike inside the right post to make it 2-2. Fluminense regained the lead in the 83rd minute. With a scrambling Ulsan defence unable to clear the ball, substitute German Cano drove a cross to Juan Freytes, whose first-time finish beat Jo for a 3-2 advantage. Both teams will play their final group match on Wednesday, 25 June. Fluminense will meet Mamelodi Sundowns at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, while Ulsan will take on Borussia Dortmund at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati.

IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah battles alone, Rishabh Pant's century overshadowed by late India collapse
India's Jasprit Bumrah (AP Photo/Scott Heppell) Boom or bust? That has been the recurring theme of India's Test cricket since the beginning of the Australia series. Six months down the line, things don't seem to have changed much. Arguably India's greatest match-winning bowler of all time, Jasprit Bumrah (3/48), delivered in every spell that he bowled on Saturday. With little or no help at the other end, it was the magnificence of the 30-year-old that helped India keep their nose ahead at the end of the second day. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Joe Root 's dismissal, a nervous poke off Bumrah to first slip, gave India the much-needed fillip that the visitors needed after they were sent on a bit of a leather hunt for the better part of two sessions. India could have had the wicket of Harry Brook as well in the last over, but Bumrah's third no-ball of the over allowed the right-hander a life despite being caught. After Rishabh Pant got his seventh Test century and India scored 471 despite a late mini-collapse, the stage was beautifully set for the four-pronged Indian pace attack to make some serious dent on the English batting on the second day of the first Test at Headingley. 14:48 IND vs ENG: Rishabh Pant opens up on chemistry with Shubman Gill and England challenge With a thick cloud cover in the post-lunch session when India started bowling, Bumrah was absolutely unplayable. He got an incredible amount of movement with the new ball but there was simply no help from the other end. The mercurial paceman got Zak Crawley (4) in his first over and was making life miserable for Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Davao City: Scholarships You Can Apply For (Start Now) College Scholarship | Google Search Search Now Undo But Jadeja at point dropped a sitter offered by Duckett when he was 15 off Bumrah's bowling, giving a lease of life to the English batting. The fact that both Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna hardly got anything out of the pitch compounded India's problems. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? Shubman Gill , in his first Test as captain, didn't bring Shardul Thakur on, despite his ability to move the ball in favourable conditions. Pope (batting on 100) and Duckett knew it was a matter of playing Bumrah out, and they did just that. The duo maintained a steady run-rate of five when Bumrah was brought back again for his third spell after tea. Everything seemed to change again. Duckett (62) inside-edged one to be bowled while Pope, now on 60, was dropped at third slip by Yashasvi Jaiswal. Pope didn't need a second invitation, going on to complete his ninth Test century as England finished the day at 209-3. Earlier, Pant and Gill made hay. The captain started from where he left off on Friday. The bat was coming down straight, he looked to play late and was beautifully balanced. Pant, on the other hand, was slightly more adventurous. However, India lost their last seven wickets for 41 runs and we'll know in a couple of days' time if this blip will cost them dear.
