Inter Milan secured a 2-0 victory over River Plate to advance to the Club World Cup's second round. Francesco Pio Esposito scored in the 72nd minute on Wednesday night's match, just after River Plate’s Lucas Martínez Quarta received a red card.

Inter Milan narrowly escaped with a victory against Urawa Red Diamonds to kickstart their Club World Cup campaign. The Nerazzurri have looked far from the team that made it to the Champions League final a month ago, but they still control their destiny to qualify to the round of 16.

A stoppage-time goal from Valentín Carboni completed a comeback win for Inter Milan on Saturday against the Urawa Red Diamonds at Lumen Field.
