 | The current group standings are as follows: | |
Fourth nil-nil draw of the Club World Cup, the one that most looked like a goalless draw. A game of many fouls, cards, and little football at the Rose Bowl. Despite the beautiful celebration from the fans | ||
| 90' +5 | Montiel receives on the right, but sends a wildly miscalibrated cross. Ball goes out for a goal kick. It's going to end... | |
| 90' +5 |  | The referee whistles for the end of the match |
| 90' +4 | Mexican defense clears and then Andrada saves a long-range shot | |
| 90' +4 | Martínez won a foul in the attacking field, and the Millionarios will still have a good chance | |

| 76' |  | River Plate: Miguel Borja missed! The number 9, who has just come on, received the ball behind the defence, controlled it but lost a bit of time. When he shot, Andrada was already there to block |

| 52' | Mastantuono cut past one, two and rolled it. Galoppo shot into the goalkeeper's hands | |
| 49' | Mastantuono took it directly, Andrade made the save, but the referee was already calling an attacking foul in the box | |

| 47' | Second half starts with... Hard foul. Not the most promising start... | |
Teams returning for the second half | ||
| 46' |  | 2nd half begins |
| ||
The first half picked up in the final minutes. Overall, a lot of fighting, fouls, cards, arguments, but not much football between the Argentinians and Mexicans so far. Good news: the second half is unlikely to be worse | ||

| 45' +4 | | River Plate: Facundo Colidio attempted a header, over the target |
| 45' +3 | | River Plate: Franco Mastantuono takes a risk from outside, the ball deflects off the defence and goes out for a corner |
| 45' +2 | | River Plate: Martínez Quarta had an even clearer chance! The defender ended up with a rebound in the small area, but shot wide. What a missed opportunity by the Millionarios |
| 45' +1 | | The referee adds 4 more minutes |
| 45' | | River Plate: Giuliano Galoppo had the best chance of the first half. Mastantuono put a great ball into the area for Castaño, who crossed it back. Galoppo had everything to score, but shot wide. There was a deflection |
| 45' | Good play by River, rough and tumble, which almost ended up clean in the area, but Sergio Ramos clears | |
| 43' | We saw great games in this World Cup, and this River x Monterrey is far from being one of them. Goalkeepers had little work in a duel full of fouls | |
| 41' | Montiel remains down after a new foul by Ocampos | |
| 40' | River went on a good counter-attack, but Meza got tangled in control and touched the ball with his hand | |
| 38' | There are 15 fouls in a very choppy game. Plays do not follow through. | |
| 36' | Canales sends a free kick into the box, but River's defence clears | |
| 35' | Game resumes, but without excitement | |

| ||

 | Monterrey also makes changes, with Aguirre coming in. Let's see if Torrent changes the formation, with Aguirre entering on the side, or keeps three defenders with Aguirre alongside Ramos and Medina | |
Monterrey fans celebrating | ||
| Earlier in this group, Internazionale beat Urawa Reds 2-1, with a goal towards the end. River, in case of a win, takes the sole lead and secures qualification in the round of 16 | |
