Topic | Two upsets in one day Inter Milan and Manchester City were eliminated

On the 1st, the third match day of the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup ended. Unlike the previous two days when the giant teams passed the level smoothly, there were continuous upsets on this match day. First, Inter Milan was unlucky and lost 0-2 to Frumenese, and then the favorite to win the championship Manchester City lost 3-4 to Riyadh New Moon after overtime. Two five major league teams were defeated by the Brazilian League and Saudi Arabia teams respectively. The Club World Cup is becoming more and more interesting.

Anyone who has watched the match between Inter Milan and Frumenese in the early morning understands that although Inter Milan is indeed not so outstanding, if the goddess of luck favors them, the result of the game may have a qualitative change. But there are not so many ifs in football games. The cruel reality is that after Lautaro and Dimarco hit the ball on the goal post and crossbar one after another, Inter Milan could only watch their opponents celebrate the victory wildly, and regretfully stopped in the quarterfinals.

Perhaps no one could have expected that at that time, another game that would not seem to have unexpectedly happened 6 hours later would be a surprise again. This time the protagonists are Manchester City and Riyadh Crescent. As one of the teams that have performed the best so far in this Club World Cup, Manchester City is considered a favorite to win the championship. In this game, they were the ones who scored the first goal, but unfortunately, this was not a "Blue Moon" night. They were first overtaken by their opponents in a few minutes in the second half. Although they equalized the score, they could not go further. Both sides could only enter overtime.

Saudi Arabia can drag Manchester City into overtime, which is actually a victory in itself. In the end, Riyadh Crescent defeated Manchester City with a perfect brave performance with goalkeeper Bunu, successfully entering the quarterfinals with a total score of 4-3. Considering that their opponent in the next round is the Brazilian team Frumenese, which looks average, the Saudi team is very likely to advance to the semi-finals.

The 1/8 final of the Club World Cup in the early morning of the 2nd will reach the last match day. Real Madrid will have a strong dialogue with Juventus, and Dortmund's opponent will be Monterrey, a Mexican powerhouse with "Water Master" Ramos.
