Gilasi plays his power + goal post help! Dortmund 2-1 Monterrey, the quarterfinals will fight Real Madrid

3:32am, 4 July 2025【Football】

At nine o'clock this morning, the 8th final of the Club World Cup ushered in a focus match. Bundesliga powerhouse Dortmund faced Monterrey, Mexico. Dortmund, who originally thought that the strength was superior, could easily pass the level, but unexpectedly, it played a wonderful showdown with suspense. In the end, with two key goals from striker Gilasi's opening stage of the first half, Dortmund thrilledly eliminated the tenacious Monterrey 2-1 and successfully entered the quarterfinals. And their next round opponent is Real Madrid, with stars gathered!

Dortmond had a strong start and obviously wanted to fight and decide quickly. In the 14th minute, they broke the deadlock. Gilasi and Adeyemi cooperated against the wall. Gilaxi understood and quickly inserted it into a single shot. He calmly pushed and shot in the face of goalkeeper Andrada! 1-0!

This is not over. After only 10 minutes (the 24th minute), Dortmund expanded the score. This time, Ryerson on the right got the ball in the fight (the Monterrey player believed that he was suspected of a foul), and quickly passed it to Adeyemi who was inserted at high speed. Adeyemi dribbled the ball into the penalty area, attracting the defensive attention, and he passed the triangle back to the near penalty spot very cleverly. The one who arrived was Jilasi again! He easily pushed the empty goal without anyone being guarded and scored twice! 2-0! This is the 12th goal the Guinea striker scored in his last 10 games, and his condition is so hot! You know, the transfer fee for his transfer from Stuttgart to Dortmund last year was only 18 million euros. This deal seems to be really worth it now. He has contributed 37 goals and 9 assists to Dortmund in various competitions.

leads with two goals, Dortmund seems to be sure to win. But Monterey is not a soft persimmon, and they immediately launched a fierce counterattack. In fact, shortly after Dortmund scored the second goal (in the 17th minute), Monterrey's Corona hit Dortmund's goal post with a cross! Monterrey's efforts paid off just as the second half began (48th minute). It was still "Tecatito" Corona made a high-quality cross on the right, and Hermann Botrame (who just scored twice in the last game against Urawa) beat the defensive player and a powerful header broke through Dortmund goalkeeper Kober's ten fingers! 2-1! The suspense of the game has increased sharply!

Monterrey's offensive is getting stronger and stronger. The most thrilling scene appears in the 65th minute! Veteran Sergio Ramos (yes, the legendary center back of the former Real Madrid) made an accurate long pass in the backcourt to launch an attack. Corona caught the ball and hit the middle, and Bertrame followed up and pushed the ball to score! Monterrey players and fans fell into madness in an instant! However, before the celebration was over, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) stepped in. The slow-motion replay clearly shows that at the moment Ramos passes, a Monterrey player is in an offside position. The goal was judged invalid! The cooked duck in Monterrey flew...

At the last moment of the game, Monterrey made a desperate bet. In the 91st minute, they got a possible last offensive opportunity - a corner kick. The 39-year-old veteran Ramos once again showed his signature heading ability! He jumped high, overwhelmed the defensive player, and headed straight to the dead corner of the goal with a powerful and heavy header! Dortmund fans' hearts were all in their throats! Only a muffled "bang" sound was heard... the ball hit the outside of the goal post and bounced out of the bottom line! The entire Monterrey bench was filled with regret, while the Dortmund players were relieved and collapsed on the grass. This centimeter gap determines the final outcome of the game! Although

advanced thrillingly, Dortmund also paid a considerable price. Their midfielder Job Bellingham (note that he is the younger brother of Real Madrid star Bellingham) received a yellow card in the 28th minute due to an unnecessary behind-the-scenes foul. This yellow card came too badly! Because it means that Job will suspend the game by cumulative yellow cards and will definitely miss the next key quarterfinal against Real Madrid! This was a big blow to Dortmund's midfield deployment.

In this way, with Gilasi's double score and the "help" of the goal post, Dortmund won Monterrey without any danger and entered the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. Their next opponent will be the powerful Real Madrid. For Real Madrid fans, the mood may be a bit complicated: they successfully "avoided" old player Ramos who might have a counterattack, but had to face Gilasi in a hot state. For Dortmund, who lacks troops (especially Job Bellingham), challenging Real Madrid will undoubtedly be a huge test. This upcoming match between Desi and the giants is definitely worth looking forward to!
