Inter Milan, Dortmund reach Club World Cup last 16

Inter Milan kept their cool to beat nine-man River Plate 2-0 and reach the Club World Cup last 16 on Wednesday, while Mexican side Monterrey followed them through from Group E.

Borussia Dortmund defeated Ulsan HD 1-0 to claim top spot in Group F and the Germans will face Sergio Ramos’ Monterrey, who thrashed Urawa Red Diamonds 4-0.

Argentine powerhouses River Plate were eliminated after their defeat by Inter, who will take on more South American opposition on Monday in Charlotte, in the shape of Fluminense.

The Brazilian side could only draw 0-0 against South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns but it was enough to claim second place behind Dortmund.
