Real Madrid are clear for the quarterfinals in the World Championship for club teams. "Los Blancos" won the round of 16 against Juventus with 1–0.
The goal was made by young Gonzalo García, who thus made his third goal in four matches in the tournament.
It's what strikers should do, be central and score goals. He was great, again, says Xabi Alonso.
García has previously played in Real Madrid's B-team, and only made a few appearances in the A-team, but got to go with Xabi Alonso's team to the USA.
The assist to García's goal was made by new acquisition Trent Alexander-Arnold, with a fine cross that hit the 21-year-old's forehead. The right-back thus made his first point since the move from Liverpool to Real Madrid.
In the match, Kylian Mbappé made his first playing minutes in the World Championship for club teams, after being substituted in with just over 25 minutes left to play. The striker missed the entire group stage after being affected by inflammation in the intestine and stomach, and had to be taken to hospital.
In the quarterfinals, Real Madrid will face the winner between German Dortmund and Mexican Monterrey, who play their round of 16 at 3 AM tonight, Swedish time.
