The crossings of the second phase in the Club World Cup
The Club World Cup enters the definition phase. Auckland City was the first team eliminated from the title fight and this Friday there are two games to determine the rivals of Fluminense and Manchester City in the semifinals of the tournament.

AL ITTIHAD VS. AL AHLY
The Tigers and the Red Devils defined the ticket to the semifinals
Marcelo Gallardo’s Al Ittihad faces Egypt’s Al Ahly in the second phase of the Club World Cup. The Tigers have just eliminated Auckland City of New Zealand in the first instance and are looking to assert their host status in the competition to face Fluminense in the semifinals. The match is played at the King Abdullah Stadium in Buraydah with FIFA+ streaming.
The Red Devils avoided the high pressure proposed by the Muñeco cast and hurt in depth with Percy Tau’s climbs on the right side. Hussein El Shahat warned at the beginning and the Tigers’ response was not long in coming with a close-range shot by Romarinho, which was magnificently blocked by goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy.
That attack became distant as the minutes passed in the face of a retreat in their own field that invited Al Ahly’s advances. Goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Mayoof had to intervene to deflect a low cross from Mohamed Hany and, in the 18th minute, Hassan Kadesh handled the ball inside the area. The referee, Jesús Valenzuela, awarded a penalty at the request of the VAR and Ali Maaloul changed it for a goal midway through the initial stage.
The Saudi Arabian cast took longer than necessary to weigh the blow. Recently, at 38′, Karim Benzema forced another save from El-Shenawy, who put on the hero suit again to cover a penalty against the striker at the end of the first act after the technology manager, Juan Soto, warned to Valenzuela with a controversial handball from Mohamed Abdelmonem.
