Saturday at the FIFA Club World Cup delivered a day packed with intense football action, featuring dramatic comebacks, high-scoring thrillers, and crucial results that significantly impacted group standings. Teams battled across various venues, showcasing skill, resilience, and the sheer unpredictability of the beautiful game.

In a gripping encounter at Lumen Field in Seattle, Inter Milan staged a remarkable rally to defeat Urawa Red Diamonds 2-1 in their Group E clash. Urawa initially stunned Inter, taking an early lead in the 11th minute through Ryoma Watanabe, who capitalized on a brilliant slaloming run and cross from Takuro Kaneko. Despite Inter's dominance in shots (26-5), they struggled to find the net until the 78th minute when captain Lautaro Martinez expertly volleyed in an equalizer from a corner kick, marking his 24th goal across all competitions this season. The decisive moment came in the second minute of second-half stoppage time, when Valentin Carboni, making his first competitive appearance for Inter in over two years after recovering from a serious knee injury, side-footed home the winner. This dramatic victory propelled Inter Milan to four points, level with River Plate, and eliminated Urawa Red Diamonds from the tournament, leaving some of their fans in tears. Martinez reflected on the win, stating, "Our opponents play with their hearts and to counter that as a team we need to play with more pride, be humble and know how to suffer."

Meanwhile, at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Borussia Dortmund overcame stifling heat and challenging conditions to win a seven-goal thriller against Mamelodi Sundowns, ending 4-3. The South African champions took a surprise early lead in the 11th minute through Lucas Ribeiro Costa. However, Dortmund swiftly responded when Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams' error led to Felix Nmecha's equalizer. Serhou Guirassy then gave Dortmund the lead with his 35th goal of the season. English midfielder Jobe Bellingham, making his first start for Dortmund after following his older brother Jude to Germany, extended the lead to 3-1 just before halftime. An own goal by Khuliso Mudau pushed Dortmund’s advantage to 4-1 before the hour mark. Mamelodi Sundowns fought back valiantly, reducing the deficit through Iqraam Rayners in the 62nd minute and Lebo Mothiba at the 90-minute mark, nearly securing a late draw. Dortmund coach Niko Kovac commented on the arduous conditions, likening the experience to a "sauna," while Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso expressed pride in his team's performance despite the loss. Dortmund now sits on four points in Group F, with Sundowns still having a chance to qualify for the last 16.

In Group F, Fluminense mounted a thrilling second-half comeback to defeat Ulsan HD 4-2 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Colombian striker Jhon Arias opened the scoring for Fluminense with a 27th-minute free-kick.

Fluminense found their attacking rhythm after the break; Nonata leveled the score with a thunderous strike in the 66th minute, followed by Juan Freytes putting them ahead in the 83rd minute after a scramble in the box. Keno sealed the victory with a fourth goal in stoppage time. This win eliminated Ulsan HD and placed Fluminense at the top of Group F, level on points with Borussia Dortmund.
