In the Club World Cup, Monterrey secured their spot in the round of 16 with a dominant 4-0 win against Urawa Red Diamonds, while River Plate was knocked out after losing 2-0 to Inter Milan. Monterrey required a win and a favorable result in the River Plate match. Following their victory, Monterrey's coach, Domenec Torrent, expressed joy for the supporters and the club's performance in the tournament, especially completing the group stage without a loss through one win and two draws.
Colombian Nelson Deossa fired a powerful shot from outside the box at Urawa goalkeeper Shūsaku Nishikawa, who could not block the shot as the ball rolled in for a goal in the 30th minute. Two minutes later, Argentine Germán Berterame fired a low shot on the right side of the Japanese goal and scored.
We have to enjoy now, the present,” said Domenec Torrent, Monterrey's technical director. “I'm very happy for the people who came here and for Mexican soccer in general.”
Monterrey settled the match in a matter of nine minutes.
In fact, in the first few minutes they made it very difficult for us. After the goal, we started to grow in the match. We knew it was a very important day for all the club's workers, for all the fans who were here and at home, and well, for all of Mexico.
