[ad_1]
O Real Madrid (Spain) secured their presence in the big decision of the FIFA Club World Cup after thrashing Al Ahly (Egypt) by 4-1, this Wednesday afternoon (8) at the Prince Moulay El Hassan Stadium, in Rabat (Morocco). Meringues’ opponent in the final is Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia), who beat Flamengo 3-2 in the other semifinal.
The match also served to define the opponent of the Gávea team in the dispute for third place, starting at 12:30 pm (Brasília time) next Saturday (11) in Rabat. The big decision of the competition will be played on the same day and place, but from 4 pm (Brasília time).
Even in front of a Real Madrid lacking (since it did not have important names such as the French striker Benzema, the Belgian goalkeeper Courtois and the Brazilian defender Éder Militão), Al Ahly started the semifinal game in a very cautious way, closing in on defense and allowing the Spanish team to stay with the ball. At first, the attitude paid off, as the Merengues created little.
However, time passed and the Egyptians started to leave more for the game, offering spaces for Real to attack more effectively. Thus, the first Spanish goal came just before the break. In the 41st minute, Metwaly missed the domain and Vinícius Júnior took the opportunity to leave at speed and hit for coverage to score a beautiful goal.
On the return of the break, Real soon showed that they would not give any chance of reaction, because, with 1 minute of the ball rolling, the Uruguayan Valverde took advantage of the rebound given by the goalkeeper El Shenawy in a shot by Rodrygo to extend the game.
In the 19th minute, Al Ahly scored with a penalty kick by Maaloul, but the Spanish team scored twice more (with Rodrygo in the 46th minute and Arribas in the 52nd minute) to confirm their place in the big decision.
