And that would have been with an extra man on the pitch after Dean Huijsen was shown a red card in the 96th minute\u2026<\/p>\n<p><i>Ramy Bensebaini switches the play from the left to Yan Couto on the right. The clock shows 98:46. The ball is crossed towards the penalty spot. Maxi Beier and Serhou Guirassy, who are positioned there, can\u2019t quite reach it, but Marcel Sabitzer, lurking to their left, does. He lets the ball drop from his chest onto his instep, turns and shoots on the volley \u2013 flat, hard and into the left corner. But Thibaut Courtois, the 200-centimetre-tall Belgian in the Spanish goal, dives for the ball and saves it. Immediately afterwards, the excellent Brazilian referee Ramon Abatti blows his whistle. \u201cAn outstanding effort. Unfortunately, Courtois' save was even more outstanding,\u201d said World Cup winner Sami Khedira, co-commentator for DAZN.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2025/07/06/cwc-nachbericht/7-Sabitzer-Madrid.jpg\" data-assetref=\"7-Sabitzer-Madrid-1751803468420\"><\/p>\n<p>The football world held its breath at this moment. \u201cFrom about the 85th minute onwards it turned into another crazy story,\u201d summarised Niko Kovac at the press conference, adding: \u201cCompliments for the save. Not many goalkeepers in the world would have kept that ball out. If we had scored at the end, it would certainly have been undeserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid had the game under control for what felt like 85 minutes, even though Borussia Dortmund actually had more possession. \u201cWe were too passive in the first half,\u201d said Kovac: \u201cThe problem was that we didn\u2019t take on the challenges, that we were too slow against and with the ball. When we had the ball, we didn\u2019t manage to move our opponents in such a way as to cause them problems.\u201d Captain Julian Brandt admitted: \u201cWe played very slow, very ponderous football in the first half and conceded two goals.

This was also true for Kylian Mbappé\u2019s goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time, after Maximilian Beier had taken advantage of BVB\u2019s second clear-cut chance to bring the score to 2-1 just 120 seconds earlier. But what happened next showed once again that anything is possible in football if you believe in yourself \u2013 and if your opponent doesn\u2019t have Thibaut Courtois in goal. \u201cWe showed morale,\u201d said Brandt, asking rhetorically: \u201cWho knows what would have happened if we\u2019d managed to do that earlier?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Almost immediately after Mbappé\u2019s goal, Carney Chukwuemeka set up Serhou Guirassy, who broke through, was felled in the penalty area and converted the resulting penalty to make it 3-2 (90+8). And there were still 84 seconds left to play. 84 seconds in which Marcel Sabitzer almost scored the equaliser. \u201cAnyone who saves a shot like that is a world-class goalkeeper,\u201d said Niko Kovac about Courtois, adding in the same breath his assessment of the entire 99 minutes: \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t have been entirely fair if we had turned it around. If you look at the first half, Real were much better. We were too passive, too self-destructive and didn\u2019t win the challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2025/07/06/cwc-nachbericht/7-Kovac-Modric.jpg\" data-assetref=\"7-Kovac-Modric-1751803524920\"><\/p>\n<p>It was this period of time added on that will leave the losers with a positive feeling in retrospect.

Gonzalo Garcia (10) and Fran Garcia (20) netted goals for Real Madrid in the first half. The Black &amp; Yellows held their own in midfield, enjoyed plenty of possession, but lacked ideas going forward and were too vulnerable at the back. Added time at the end of the second half proved extremely eventful: Maximilian Beier brought BVB back to within a goal at 2-1 (90+2), Kylian Mbappe (90+4) restored the two-goal lead, then Serhou Guirassy cut the deficit back to 3-2 (90+8) from the penalty spot. All this in the space of six minutes! Marcel Sabitzer almost scored the equaliser, but Thibaut Courtois managed to turn his shot away.

Niko Kovac made two changes to the starting line-up from the round of 16, bringing in Julian Brandt and Marcel Sabitzer to replace Bellingham and Felix Nmecha.

Brandt played behind them in a staggered midfield in front of the Sabitzer/Gross double pivot.

However, the backdrop was more impressive: 76,611 fans filled the huge stadium on this occasion.<\/p>\n<p>BVB got off to a promising start, with the first big chance of the encounter falling to Julian Brandt in the sixth minute. His header zipped just wide of the Real goal. But the Spanish royalty then scored the first goal just four minutes later: Arda Güler was unmarked on the edge of the penalty area and picked out the man who scored the decisive goal in the round of 16: Gonzalo Garcia.<\/p>\n<p>And Real remained efficient: when a long pass from Bensebaini was intercepted by Aurelien Tchouameni, the ball was shifted to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who played a precision ball into the path of Fran Garcia, with the full-back making no mistake to bring the score to 2-0 in the 20th minute. The Real fans celebrated the quick two-goal lead with a &quot;La Ola&quot; in the stands. Jude Bellingham could have made it 3-0 after 27 minutes, but his low shot went just wide of the target.<\/p>\n<p>Niko Kovac used the cooling break on the half-hour mark to give his players a pep talk. They hadn't had a real chance on goal since the sixth minute, but at least they had enjoyed 51% possession until that point, slightly more than Madrid, and had won 53% of their challenges.<\/p>\n<p>After 40 minutes, Dortmund's second corner resulted in a counter-attack for Madrid, but Vinicius Junior's attempt to lob Gregor Kobel sailed over the bar. BVB went into the break knowing that they had kept Real's defence busy, but had rarely broken through and were too vulnerable at the back themselves. But there were still 45 minutes to play.<\/p>\n<p>And BVB came back out of the dressing room with fresh legs: Felix Nmecha, Yan Couto and Maximilian Beier came on for Pascal Gross, Karim Adeyemi and Niklas Süle. Couto slotted in as a right wingback, Beier played centrally in attack alongside Guirassy, and Nmecha lined up as a defensive midfielder. Ryerson's role was now much more defensive \u2013 as part of the back four.<\/p>\n<p>BVB were playing better football, albeit without posing any real threat. A Maximilian Beier effort was denied by Thibaut Courtois on the hour-mark. In the immediate counterattack, Tchouameni struck the crossbar \u2013 but Vinicius Junior had been offside in the build-up. Kovac sent Julien Duranville on for Julian Brandt \u2013 a like-for-like substitution.<\/p>\n<p>The stadium erupted as Real's star striker Kylian Mbappe came on as a substitute. After 80 minutes, Julien Duranville fell to the ground in pain. The nimble Belgian had only played for 17 minutes when he had to be substituted due to a shoulder injury. Carney Chukwuemeka came on in his place. It was the English midfielder who fired a dangerous effort from just outside the area in the 89th minute, but it went just wide of the post. The spell was finally broken in stoppage time when Real cleared the ball too short, allowing Maximilian Beier to shoot unchallenged. His shot struck the inside of the far post on its way into the back of the net \u2013 BVB were back to within a goal at 2-1. And just as all Borussia fans in the stadium were hoping for a last-minute equaliser, Real responded immediately: Kylian Mbappe scored with a side-footed effort to make it 3-1. But that wasn't the end of the story: Dean Huijsen brought Guirassy down in the area just as he looked poised to score. Penalty for BVB and a red card for the Real defender.

We did a bit better in the second half. We had a few chances early on. If we\u2019d made the right decision there, we might have scored earlier. But nevertheless, we\u2019re taking a lot of experience away from the tournament. We played against many different teams with many different styles of play. Playing in a Club World Cup is something very special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Pascal Gross (in the mixed zone): <\/b>\u201cWe wanted to stay compact at first, win the ball back against Real and then launch counterattacks. We didn\u2019t really get a grip on the game. They overloaded the wings with a lot of players and we conceded two quick goals from two crosses. We also had our periods of possession, we had our moments, but our attacks just weren\u2019t dangerous enough. There weren't any fireworks, not even from Real, despite the fact they had lots of opportunities.
