📸 Major embarrassment avoided? BVB caught out but hit back
Mamelodi Sundowns. Someone who was previously a completely blank slate for European football fans could now really make a name for themselves. The South African champion is currently playing in the Club World Cup against none other than Borussia Dortmund and is giving BVB a real headache.

The Sundowns were the better team in the early stages of the second group game and even took a 1-0 lead. And that was with great help from Dortmund. Lucas Ribeiro went through the Borussia defense without any resistance and was allowed to score the 1-0 goal. Ribeiro started in his own half.
And suddenly the Brazilian was completely alone in front of Gregor Kobel and scored. A catastrophic mistake by the BVB defense.
But a gift was also given on the other side. Mamelodi goalkeeper Ronwen Williams was passed the ball in his own penalty area and what followed was an absolute blackout.
He pushed the ball without any pressure to Felix Nmecha, who only had to score into the empty goal. BVB now seems to have finally recovered from the initial shock. Serhou Guirassy scored with a header in the 34th minute to make it 2-1. Jobe Bellingham increased the score to 3-1 just before the break.

Have the Dortmund players averted the embarrassment and can now take over? Currently, it looks that way. Or will the Sundowns come back again and sniff out the mega-sensation?

How to watch Juventus vs Wydad AC: TV channel and live stream for Club World Cup match today
All smiles: Juventus made a flying start to the Club World Cup (AFP via Getty Images) Juventus will look to secure their place in the last-16 of the Club World Cup when they take on Wydad AC this evening. It was an ideal start to the tournament for the Italian side, who thrashed Al-Ain 5-0 after scoring four first-half goals. Advertisement They will now be eyeing three more points here to leave the final group-stage match against Manchester City as a likely showdown for top spot. Wydad AC, though, will believe they can cause Juventus problems, having showed plenty of ambition in their opening defeat to City. The Moroccan club were beaten 2-0 but offered a threat on the counter throughout and should offer Juventus a sterner test than Al-Ain managed. The heat in Philadelphia could make conditions uncomfortable but Wydad were well-backed by their fans against City and that should be the case again here. How to watch Juventus vs Wydad AC Live stream: Viewers can watch the action live online via the DAZN website. Kick-off is at 5pm this evening. DAZN is the global broadcaster of the new-look Club World Cup. No subscription is required to watch the game, with the entire tournament available to their 'Freemium' members, which means you only need to sign up for a free DAZN account.

🥇 Copa highlights: 'Shoot, Everaldo' and world's toughest Cariocão
The second round of the first phase of the Club World Cup is coming to an end, with only two groups left to play this Sunday (22). In the four games on Saturday (21), there was no shortage of excitement, with three matches having decisive comebacks. Only River Plate 0 x 0 Monterrey was monotonous. Advertisement You can sign up for DAZN to watch all the FIFA Club World Cup games for free. So, let's talk about what went viral on the day of the World Cup! 🍕 In a pizzeria line Before talking specifically about the day's games, we have John Textor, owner of Botafogo's SAF, celebrating the good campaign of Glorioso AMASSING a pizza, in a bar, in Venice Beach, in Los Angeles. In an animated chat with River Plate fans, the American businessman - who had to show his cell phone to prove he was indeed the owner of Botafogo - took a wave with the Europeans. "South Americans are kicking the Europeans' butt," said Textor, while laughing with the Argentines. 🥵 Mountain climate The strong heat of the United States summer has been one of the main difficulties reported by players from European clubs. Advertisement In the victory by 4 x 3 over Mamelodi, Borussia Dortmund's reserve players stayed in the locker room during the first half to watch the game in the air conditioning. The Germans couldn't handle the 31°C (feeling 36°C) heat in Cincinnati. 🤯 SHOOT, EVERALDO The fans suffered more than expected, but Fluminense defeated Ulsan HD 4 x 2. And, during the drama of the "comeback", striker Everaldo was targeted by the tricolores. After the center-forward missed another good chance to finish, Fluminense fans chanted "Chuta, Everaldo! Chuta, Everaldo!" The lack of patience is directly related to the opening game, when Eve had the chance to guarantee victory over Borussia Dortmund, but - face to face with the goalkeeper - preferred to pass to Cannobio. 📹 Privileged view If Everaldo, apparently, is "afraid to shoot", Jhon Adolfo Arias Andrade knows how to finish and very well. Advertisement The "Pelé of Colombia" opened the scoring with a great free kick, in the corner of the goalkeeper, and the referee saw everything up close. Check out the INSANITY of this referee's camera! 😲 Unfriendly climate The 0 x 0 between River Plate and Monterrey was, really, a game with few emotions. However, before the ball rolled, emotions were running high in the sector where most of the Argentine fans were concentrated. This is because a citizen thought it was a good idea to watch the game wearing a Boca Juniors jersey in the middle of the River Plate crowd. So, it was like this: reinforced security, all kinds of insults, the embarrassment of having to take off the jersey and still being escorted out of the stands. 😅 Tite was right! The second round has already ended for all Brazilian clubs, which lead their groups in the Club World Cup. Advertisement And Rio de Janeiro is very well represented by Botafogo, Flamengo, and Fluminense. Social media users then remembered Tite's statement, when he was the coach of Rubro-Negro, that the Campeonato Carioca was the most difficult in Brazil. Well, by the LOGIC of the World Cup qualification table, Cariocão is already the most difficult tournament in the world! This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
