An astonishing head of the Spanish veteran defender delights pro-Mexican fans as the European giants are organized.
Sergio Ramos has back up the years to mark a brilliant head while Monterrey held Inter Milan in a 1-1 draw in his clash of the FIFA club World Cup at Pink Stadium in Pasadena, in the United States.
The former defender of Spain and Real Madrid dominated above the Inter Defenders to find the back of the net and give an advance to his Mexican club in the 25th minute of their group E match, to the great pleasure of the thousands of Monterrey fans gathered on Tuesday at the famous site of Southern California.
European giants prohibit the score in the 42nd minute, while Lautaro Martinez typed at close range of a pass of Carlos Augusto with a superbly designed team goal.
However, it was Ramos’ goal and the celebrations that followed – both by the player and the Monterrey fans – who stole the star of the fourth day of the club competition.
“There is always the joy of contributing to the team by scoring, but if we can get points, it’s even better,” said Captain of Monterrey after the match.
“We have played very well as a team. Of course, football highlights the goal, but we are here to share this experience.”
The two parties had many opportunities to take the lead in the second half, but missed their chances, a shot from Martinez being called offside in the 68th minute.
It was a draw for Inter, which lost the final of the UEFA Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on May 31 and welcomed the new manager Cristian Chivu.
According to Ramos, 39 years old, his team did not have energy in the last moments of the match.
“Most of this match, we have created a lot of chance, but right now, we don’t have much energy,” he said.
Monterrey and Inter have one point each in the group led by River Plate, who beat Urawa Red Diamonds 3-1 in the previous match in Seattle.
The goals of Facundo Colidio (12 minutes), Sebastian Drussi (48 minutes) and Maximiliano Meza (73 minutes) helped the Argentinian club beat their Japanese opponents easily, but they lost their impact in front of an ankle injury while scoring the second goal.
A successful converted penalty from the 58th minute of Yusuke Matsuo brought back Urawa in the match momentarily, but Meza’s goal 15 minutes later consolidated River Plate’s advance.
The second match day for the group on Saturday, to face Urawa and Monterrey Face River Plate.
In the Lights of Group F Tuesday, the Brazilian lateral Fluminense held the German club Borussia Dortmund in a virgin draw at the Metlife stadium in New Jersey, while Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa was beating South Korean Ulsan HD 1-0 in Orlando, Florida.
Iqraam Rayners scored in the 36th minute for Mamelodi, who now runs group F with three points. Dortmund and Fluminense have one point each.
