Three clubs fighting relegation in SPL Roshn League's final round
RIYADH: Three clubs — Al-Wehda, Al-Akhdood and Al-Orobah — will be fighting relegation during the Saudi Pro League (Roshn League) final round on Monday with matches being played simultaneously.
Two out of the three clubs will join Al-Raed, who have already been relegated to the first division. As things stand, Al-Wehda is in 15th place with 33 points, Al-Akhdood is in 16th place with 31 points and Al-Orobah is in 17th place with 30 points.
Al-Wehda will stay in the league if they win or draw against Al-Ettifaq in Dammam. A loss means they will need both Al-Akhdood and Al-Orobah to also lose or draw.
Al-Akhdood must beat Al-Khaleej and hope that Al-Wehda lose, as that would keep Al-Akhdood in the SPL for another new season.
Al-Orobah has the most difficult task. They need to beat Al-Taawoun in Al-Jouf and then hope that both Al-Wehda and Al-Akhdood lose. If that happens, Al-Orobah will move above Al-Akhdood in points and tie with Al-Wehda.
In that case, Al-Orobah would survive because they have a better head-to-head record against Al-Wehda — losing the first match 2–1 but winning the second 4–2.

Juan Freytes scored the go-ahead goal in the 83rd minute, and Fluminense beat Ulsan 4–2 in the Club World Cup on Saturday night. Jhon Arias bent a 25-yard free kick inside the right post and under the crossbar in the 27th minute to open the scoring for Fluminense. Lee Jin-hyun, on the counterattack, put away a cross played by Um Wonsang into a wide-open net to tie it in the 37th, and Um scored on a diving header off a low ball-in played by Lee in first-half stoppage time to give Ulsan a 2–1 lead at halftime. Gustavo Nonato Santana – known as Nonato – stopped a clearance attempt near the top of the penalty area and tapped a shot inside the right post in the 66th minute to tie the score 2–2. Marcos da Silva França – known as Keno – capped the scoring in the second minute of stoppage time. Ulsan goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo made a diving stop in the second minute and moments later had a leaping one-hand parry. Freytes put away a first-touch finish off a cross played by Germán Cano from point-blank range for his first career goal with Fluminense to take the lead for good. Fluminense is tied with Borussia Dortmund atop Group F and can clinch a berth in the knockout round with a win over the Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday. Ulsan, which plays Dortmund on Wednesday, was eliminated from reaching the knockout round.

Inter Milan Scores Twice in Final Minutes to Beat Urawa in Club World Cup, 2-1
Valentin Carboni scored the game-winning goal in stoppage time to give Inter Milan a 2–1 win over Urawa in the Club World Cup on Saturday, ending the Japan club's chances of advancing past the group stage. Inter Milan held the vast majority of possession but failed to score until the 78th minute when Lautaro Martinez brilliantly bicycle-kicked Nicolo Barella's corner ball into the net. Carboni's game-winner came in the second minute of stoppage time and was assisted by fellow substitute Francesco Esposito. The Urawa Red Diamonds opened the scoring in the 11th minute. Takuro Kaneko assisted Ryoma Watanabe in transition, finding Watanabe all alone on the penalty spot with his cutback ball. Key moment: Urawa had one final chance to equalize in the last minute of stoppage time, but goalkeeper Yann Sommer tipped the long-distance attempt directly from the free kick over the crossbar. Takeaways: Inter Milan takes over the top spot in Group E after following up their tournament-opening draw with the victory. The Italian club will play River Plate of Argentina on Wednesday. Urawa will be playing for pride against CF Monterrey on Wednesday.
