In the second round of the Club World Cup group stage held in the early morning of this morning, European powerhouse Dortmund defeated the African team Mamelodi Sunset with a big score of 4-3. While scoring 3 points, it was only one step away from entering the quarterfinals.

In the first half, Dortmund scored 3 goals and led by 3-1, laying a solid foundation for victory. In the second half, Dortmund scored another goal. Although his opponent scored two goals in a row and counterattacked wildly, Dortmund still withstood the pressure and finally won a key victory 4-3.

This game was held at noon local time in the United States. The high temperature of more than 30 degrees and the scorching sun made the sparse audience in the stands drowsy. Even if both sides stage a goal battle, it cannot excite the fans.

After the game, Dortmund coach Kovac said bluntly in an interview that he was sweating profusely when he stood on the sidelines, as if he had just walked out of the sauna. Such conditions were too difficult to play. Although Dortmund did not play at the best level, it was difficult to achieve this objective condition.

On social media, fans also joked about the game. Everyone said that the bench on the field did not even have a sunshade, and the conditions were as simple as the school sports meeting. Dortmund's substitutes were all watching the game with black umbrellas. What was even more funny was the bench of Mamelodi Sunset team. A group of big blacks were wearing white towels. From a distance, they were sisters in the dunes of the movie.

In order to take care of European audiences, FIFA has arranged a large number of games to be held at noon local time in the United States, and the poor effect is obvious to all. Although European fans saw the ball in prime time, the performance of the players on the court was greatly reduced, and the fans in the stands were also listless. What's the point of such a game?

However, for Dortmund, winning the game with 3 points is still worth celebrating. In the standings of the F Group, Dortmund scored 1 win, 1 draw and 4 points, ranking second in the group after Fruminense. In the last round, it will face Ulsan HD, which is at the bottom of the group. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be no problem to score 3 points.
