In a spirited Group F opening match of the Club World Cup, Fluminense and Borussia Dortmund battled to a goalless draw at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. The Brazilian side controlled much of the first half, with Dortmund relying heavily on the heroics of their goalkeeper, Gregor Kobel.
Kobel's series of impressive saves, including a remarkable double-stop in the second half, were crucial in denying Fluminense an early lead. The Brazilian team's fanbase, significantly larger at the venue, watched their side come close through Jhon Arias and midfielder Martinelli but ultimately left ruing missed opportunities.
The match unfolded under unexpectedly mild weather conditions, which were a respite given the recent concerns about player welfare due to high temperatures in the U.S. Fluminense will now aim for better fortune against Ulsan HD, while Dortmund prepares to face Mamelodi Sundowns in Cincinnati.
