Valentin Carboni delivered a stunning stoppage-time goal, lifting Inter Milan to a 2-1 victory over Urawa Red Diamonds in the Club World Cup on Saturday. This win dashes Urawa's hopes of progressing beyond the group stage.

Inter Milan, despite dominating possession throughout the match, only scored their first goal in the 78th minute. Lautaro Martinez found the net with a spectacular bicycle kick from Nicolo Barella's corner. Carboni then scored the decisive goal 14 minutes later, with an assist from Francesco Esposito, after Inter's persistent attacks.

Urawa initially thrilled their fans by taking an early lead in the 11th minute when Ryoma Watanabe converted a pass from Takuro Kaneko. The match drew 25,090 spectators, predominantly Urawa supporters, whose enthusiasm lasted until the final whistle. Inter Milan now leads Group E and will face River Plate next, while Urawa plays CF Monterrey for pride.
