On December 20, Beijing time, the major football competitions were in full swing. In a match in the 16th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund was unexpectedly drawn at home by the bottom team Mainz, causing a big upset in this round. In the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Manchester City defeated AFC Champions League champions Urawa Red Diamonds 3-0 and advanced to the final. The EFL Cup 1 4 final also featured a thrilling penalty shoot-out, with Chelsea stubbornly coming from behind to equalise and eventually eliminate Newcastle United on penalties.
The match between Borussia Dortmund and Mainz was unusually close. Borussia Dortmund, who were playing at home, scored directly from a free-kick in the 29th minute from Brandt to take the lead. However, Mainz did not give up and Van der Berg equalised with a header in the 43rd minute. After that, neither side achieved anything, and in the 89th minute, Reina scored a winner but was disallowed, and finally Dortmund drew 1-1 with Mainz, causing a big upset in this round.
Manchester City take on Urawa Red Diamonds in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup. Once the game started, Manchester City took control of the tempo on the pitch and launched a fierce attack. Although the absence of Kevin De Bruyne in midfield made the team a little less creative, City still gave an own goal lead through Nunez's cross. In the second half, City continued to press, with Walker's delicate pass setting up Mateo Kovacic's solo goal and Bernardo Silva volleying home again. In the end, Manchester City defeated Urawa Red Diamonds 3-0 and advanced to the final of the Club World Cup for the first time in the team's history.
Chelsea take on Newcastle United in the EFL Cup 1 4 finals. The Blues made a mistake after the opening kick-off, and Wilson struck home in the 16th minute to give Newcastle the lead. Chelsea are holding their ground but are struggling to find a good opportunity, and Enzo's injury has made matters worse. Substitute Armando Broja was disallowed for offside. In the second half, Newcastle set up a defensive formation, with Chelsea stepping up their attack but lacking the ability to find the back of the net. In the 92nd minute of stoppage time, Mykhailo Mudryk capitalised on an opponent's mistake to score the equaliser and drag the game into a penalty shootout. Kieran Trippier and Ritchie missed penalties in the shoot-out as Chelsea beat Newcastle United 5-3 on aggregate to progress to the last four of the EFL Cup.
This race day was full of surprises and excitement. Borussia Dortmund's draw showed how competitive the Bundesliga is, while Manchester City's victory showcased their quality on the international stage. Chelsea's penalty shoot-out victory was a feast for the eyes. These games not only show us the talent and fighting spirit of the players, but also make us look forward to the next games and results. 100 help plan
