An absolutely sensational start to the second matchday of the 2026 FIFA Club World Cup group stage between Mamelodi Sundowns and Borussia Dortmund!
Details: The fact is, the South African champions managed to take the lead right from the opening minutes.
In the 11th minute, Lucas Ribeiro received the ball in the middle of the pitch from Tashreeq Matthews, and there seemed to be no threat for the German side. However, Dortmund's defenders were caught out of position, and the Brazilian striker spotted an open lane, broke through one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and coolly beat Gregor Kobel.
This is already Mamelodi Sundowns' second goal of the tournament. In the opening match, Miguel Cardoso's side defeated Ulsan Hyundai 1-0.
However, in the 16th minute, a mistake by Ronwen Williams gifted Felix Nmecha an equalizer.
Reminder: Earlier today it was reported that Mamelodi Sundowns are interested in Azam left-back Pascal Msindo.
