Borussia Dortmund storms into the Round of 16 in the Club World Cup in the USA. Score a goal, rake in the millions. The Vice President of the United States was among the cheering fans.
Borussia Dortmund clinched the Group Stage victory in the Club World Cup against Ulsan, edging closer to an additional $10 million in earnings. A solitary goal from Daniel Svensson (36th minute) sealed the deal for the squad led by coach Niko Kovac, defeating the largely ineffective South Koreans 1:0 in Cincinnati. "We aimed to progress through the group phase, and we accomplished it," Kovac declared on DAZN. "The first half was tolerable, considering the sweltering heat. Admittedly, the lads managed the game more in the second half."
For Dortmund, the triumph earned them an estimated $9.5 million from the victory and progression to the Round of 16, boosting their total earnings from the competition to roughly $45 million, including the initial fee. "Ultimately, we deserved to advance with Fluminense," Kovac concurred.
Stadium Spectators
The absence of Julian Brandt and Niklas Süle this time led to little difficulty for Dortmund against the struggling Ulsan, who finished the tournament with no points. The match drew a crowd of 8,239 spectators, including US Vice President JD Vance and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Security was significantly increased due to the high-profile guests.
Unfulfilled Dominance
Dortmund controlled the game against the South Koreans, who lacked the potential to advance before the match. However, the Westphalians struggled to convert their superiority, showing a lack of intensity. Only youngster Jobe Bellingham impressed with his presence. The Englishman unfortunate to miss the goal with a volley in the 27th minute, but he later provided the assist for Svensson's game-winning goal ten minutes later. After the break, Dortmund continued to control the game and create opportunities, but failed to capitalize. The game remained tense until the final whistle, with Ulsan squeezing off a few shots, but Dortmund was never seriously threatened. Post-game, Dortmund expeditiously returned to Florida, where they will prepare for the knockout round in Fort Lauderdale.
