Rodrygo (3-1, 90e+2) and Arribas (4-1, 90e+8) proved, on the contrary, skilful to definitively seal the fate of this second semi-final of the Club World Cup.
Vinicius (42e) and Valverde (47e) had put Real on the right track a little earlier, again in key moments, just before the break and at the very start of the second half.
