Fresh from an encouraging draw with Borussia Dortmund in the opening round of games, Fluminense will be looking to get their first win of the Club World Cup when they face off against Ulsan HD in New Jersey. Ulsan themselves will be looking to jumpstart a tournament that began in defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns, their hope of reaching the knockout stages surely contingent on getting a win against the Brazilians.
Fluminense did, however, look to be a tough nut to crack for Dortmund, who were held to just 0.24 expected goals in the Group F opener, Thiago Silva belying his 40 years with an authoritative display in central defense. Had Everaldo sparked at the other end, this could have been a famous day for the side from Rio De Janeiro.
Ulsan HD, meanwhile, disappointed in Orlando, only infrequently controlling the game after going down to a first half goal from South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns. This was perhaps the most important game of the competition for the South Koreans, as their coach acknowledged afterwards. “We had targeted this game to win because we understand the other two teams in the group, Fluminense and Borussia Dortmund, are favourites,” said Pan-gon Kim. “Our players gave their best efforts in this game and we’re very proud of their efforts. Now we need to recover quickly for the next game.”
If they do not, this could be a very brief and underwhelming stay in America for the five-time K League champions.
Viewing information

Predicted lineups
Fluminense: Fabio; Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Juan Freytes, Rene; Nonato, Hercules, Martinelli; Jhon Arias, Everaldo, Agustin Canobbio
Ulsan HD: Hyeon-Woo Jo; Milosz Trojak, Myeong-Kwan Seo, Young-Gwon Kim, Gustav Ludwigson; Chung-Yong Lee, Woo-Young Jung, Darijan Bojancic, Seung-Beom Ko; Won-Sang Um, Erick Farias
Player to watch
Thiago Silva, Fluminense: You would never have believed watching Thiago Silva against Borussia Dortmund that he had not come straight from his prime years at AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. The veteran Brazilian looked 10 or more years younger than his 40 years of age, winning 9 of 11 duels and making three interceptions. He will hope for a quieter game this time out.
Storyline to watch
Will the crowds come out? MetLife saw just 34,736 of its 82,500 seats filled for its previous game in Group F and that was probably the showpiece encounter from the quartet. Meanwhile, fewer than 3,500 were at Ulsan HD’s game against Mamelodi Sundowns in Orlando. Much of that can be explained by the fact these games were weekday, daytime occasions, but a game like this on a Saturday afternoon should offer a bit more of a sense to FIFA as to whether the less illustrious games at next summer’s World Cup will still draw big crowds.

Bayern Munich 2 Boca Juniors 1 – Bayern advance despite great Merentiel goal – Boca must hammer Auckland and hope
Michael Olise’s late goal ensured Bayern Munich beat Boca Juniors despite a wonderful individual goal from Miguel Merentiel to become the first European team to qualify for the knockout stages at the Club World Cup.Bayern could have been 3-0 up after 20 minutes with Olise’s Olimpico (a goal direct from a corner) disallowed by VAR and Kingsley Coman missing an open goal from inside the six-yard box either side of Harry Kane’s 18th-minute strike.AdvertisementThe German champions looked to be cruising to victory until Merentiel exploded through their defences and cracked a fine strike past Manuel Neuer that sent most of the 63,587 crowd at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami into ecstasy.Boca were on the front foot but Olise, who lost the ball in the build-up to Boca’s goal, struck from the edge of the area to win the game […]
Achtelfinale perfekt – Bayern siegt im Gift-Gipfel!
Mit Gift und Galle in die K.o.-Phase, aber Sorgen um Jamal Musiala (22)! Der FC Bayern gewinnt 2:1 gegen die Boca Juniors, macht so vorzeitig das Achtelfinale klar und darf auch noch eine Premiere bei dieser Klub-WM feiern. Die Münchner sind das erste Team, das eine südamerikanische Mannschaft (zuvor 5 Siege, 3 Unentschieden) bezwingt. Bitter aber auch: Superstar Musiala muss nur 25 Minuten nach seiner Einwechslung schon wieder vom Platz. Grund ist offenbar ein Problem an seiner Wade. Der Schock ist ihm ins Gesicht geschrieben. Joshua Kimmich nimmt ihm auf dem Platz tröstend in den Arm. Der Offensiv-Star hat nach monatelanger Pause gerade erst sein Comeback gefeiert.

Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski, pumping 96 mph sliders, opens career with 11 straight hitless innings
Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski completed his second career start on Friday. He's still waiting to allow his first hit.A week after posting five no-hit innings in his MLB debut before exiting with cramps, the 23-year-old right-hander arguably looked even better in his second start by taking a perfect game into the sixth inning against the Minnesota Twins. In total, he opened his career with 11 straight hitless innings.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementPer the Brewers broadcast, he is the first starting pitcher in MLB's live-ball era (since 1920) to post 10 straight hitless innings to begin his career. The overall record for hitless innings to open career still belongs to reliever Austin Cox with 11 2/3 in 2023.It was not hard to see how Misiorowski accomplished it. Per Baseball Savant, his fastball averaged 100.6 mph and topped out at 102.1 mph, and that wasn't […]
