5 h. ago Real Madrid survive late Dortmund scare to set up Club World Cup semi

Quarter-final: Real Madrid 3-2 Borussia DortmundG García 10, F García 20, Mbappé 90+4; Beier 90+2, Guirassy 90+8Real Madrid have set up a date with Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup semi-final, despite a chaotic last 10 minutes, giving Kylian Mbappé a chance to face his former side on a big stage after he scored a fantastic acrobatic goal in a 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund.Xabi Alonso’s Madrid looked entirely in control for the vast majority of the match, until a remarkable stoppage time made things nervy and Thibaut Courtois’s last-gasp save preserved the victory. That incredible conclusion to an otherwise pedestrian match also included a late red card given to Real Madrid’s Dean Huijsen, the impressive new arrival in central defence, who will miss the semi-final as a result of bringing down Serhou Guirassy right after Mbappé’s stupendous volley for Real Madrid’s third.

Queensland Reds 12-52 British & Irish LionsElliot Daly forced off after taking a painful blowFor the second successive game in Australia there is bittersweet news for the British & Irish Lions.

He was taken to hospital for X-rays on a suspected fracture which will almost certainly require the Lions to summon another replacement, having already lost scrum-half Tomos Williams to a torn hamstring.
