Guirassy Scores Twice and Dortmund Advances at Club World Cup With 2-1 Win Over Feisty Monterrey
Serhou Guirassy scored a pair of first-half goals, both assisted by Karim Adeyemi, and Borussia Dortmund held off Monterrey 2–1 Tuesday night in the final round of 16 game at the Club World Cup. Guirassy drove a shot just inside the left post in the 14th minute, then sent another past keeper Esteban Andrada in the 24th when left unmarked from 15 yards at the top of the penalty area. Both times it was Adeyemi delivering the pass that set up Guirassy, a native of France who plays for Guinea's national team. The 29-year-old striker has three goals in four tournament games and 37 across all competitions in his first season with Dortmund. Dortmund will face Real Madrid on Saturday at East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Spanish power advanced with a 1–0 victory over Italy's Juventus in an afternoon match. Jobe Bellingham received a yellow card in the 28th minute and will miss the match against Real – and his brother, former Dortmund star Jude Bellingham – because of yellow card accumulation. Rayados, cheered by a large contingent of flag-waving supporters in Atlanta, bounced back from the sluggish start to make a game of it. Less than three minutes into second half, a cross to the far post deflected off the head of a Dortmund defender before Érick Aguirre headed it back across the net to Germán Berterame, who headed it in to cut the deficit to a single goal. Using their speed to attack Dortmund vertically, Monterrey dominated the second half and had several chances to level the score. But the German team held on despite the Mexican squad holding a 59 percent edge in possession and a 7–3 advantage in shots on goal. The late game drew a crowd of 31,442 at cavernous Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where the upper deck wasn't needed. But the sweltering US heat wasn't an issue with the roof closed in Atlanta. American Gio Reyna did not play for the third time in four games at the Club World Cup, another sign that his tenure with Dortmund could be winding down. Key moment: Dortmund started strongly thanks to a nifty flick from Adeyemi at the top of the area that set up Guirassy's opening goal. Takeaways: Dortmund's victory means five of the eight clubs in the quarterfinals are from Europe. Monterrey was the last club left from North America. They said it: 'I think I could have scored three goals, at least. But I'm happy I helped the team. The most important thing was to win the game.' – Guirassy. 'We played a fantastic game from the first minute to the last one. … All the players who have been involved in the Premier League and the Spanish competition know the quality of the Mexican teams. We don't need to sell it.' – Monterrey captain Sergio Ramos through an interpreter.

Dortmund complete Club World Cup last eight line-up with win over Monterrey
Serhou Guirassy scored two early goals and Borussia Dortmund held on to defeat CF Monterrey 2-1 on Tuesday night in Atlanta to reach the Fifa Club World Cup quarter-finals. Karim Adeyemi assisted both to bring Guirassy's tournament total to three. German Berterame scored his third of the competition early in a much-improved second half for Monterrey that gave their German opponents some nervy moments. That included Sergio Ramos' header early in second-half stoppage time that missed narrowly wide of the top left corner. Dortmund prevailed to become the fifth and final European side to reach the last eight, the second from Germany along with Bayern Munich. Borussia Dortmund will face Real Madrid on Saturday in East Rutherford, N.J. Monterrey was the last of five Concacaf entrants eliminated after Inter Miami's 4-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in another round-of-16 clash on Sunday. Berterame cut Monterrey's deficit to 2-1 with a powerful downward header inside the right post after an initial cross from the left took a fortunate deflection off teammate Erick Aguirre. Eleven minutes later, Monterrey's Jesus Corona was played into a one-on-one by Sergio Canales's throughball, but he fired his potential game-tying effort straight at Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel with a defender closing. Guirassy and Adeyemi combined twice in the opening 24 minutes. In the 14th, Guirassy took a pass at the edge of the 18-yard box from Ramy Bensebaini with his back to goal and quickly slotted the ball to Adeyemi next to him. Adeyemi's instant return pass played Guirassy into position for a low finish inside the left post and beyond the outstretched leg of charging goalkeeper Esteban Andrada.

Guirassy could have had a hat-trick before half-time. In the 31st minute, he fired narrowly wide of the right post after Jobe Bellingham's feed. In the 34th, Andrada's remarkable recovery and save denied him after a cross from Pascal Gross.
