It was fair to say that Fluminense played well, as they had more shots and their players were sharper. Borussia Dortmund needs to win the match to get one foot closer to the knockouts.

Key Players to watch in Today’s FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match
Lucas Ribeiro (Mamelodi Sundowns FC)
He is a versatile winger who can also play as a second striker and attacking midfielder for his team when needed. Lucas Ribeiro was the best player for Mamelodi Sundowns FC. He completed the most dribbles in the match, four, and also created the most chances in the game, three.
Jobe Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund)
He made his debut for Borussia Dortmund in the last match, coming on in the 59th minute, replacing Pascal Gross. Jobe Bellingham will start on the bench, just like the last match, but if he starts, we should not be surprised. In the last match, he completed 26 passes out of 28. Jobe is surely one of the players for the future.

Mamelodi Sundowns FC can score goals for sure, but this Dortmund defence, plus Kobel in goal, will not give them any room. We expect Dortmund to keep a clean sheet in the game and Kobel to shine in goal again.
