2:41am, 28 June 2025Football

On June 23, the second round of the Club World Cup Group H match, Riyadh Crescent played against Salzburg. In the first round of the game, Riyadh Crescent tied the powerful Real Madrid and became the dark horse of this cup. They drew 0-0 with Salzburg in this game and continued to remain unbeaten.

Inzaghi, Jr., sent core players such as Neves, Malcolm and Milinkovic, with a goal of 3 points. He failed to lead the team to a good start before against Real Madrid. The former Inter Milan coach naturally hopes to score 3 points in this game. Unfortunately, dreams are beautiful and reality is cruel. After the game started, Riyadh Crescent attacked wildly, but they kept squandering opportunities in the frontcourt. According to statistics, Riyadh Crescent shot 19 times in this game, but failed to score 1 goal. In the 57th minute of the second half, Riyadh Crane counterattacked, but Malcolm stumbled in the frontcourt and did not pass the ball. He waited until his opponent had returned to defense before seeking cooperation. In the end, he caught the ball and missed the post. Throughout the game, Riyadh Crescent's attack basically ended with a missed post or being blocked by the goalkeeper. They shot a lot, but the real threat was not much.

‌Standing on the sidelines, Inzaghi looked serious. After he took over the team, Riyadh Crescent had not won, but fortunately, this Saudi giant has not lost yet. In fact, Riyadh Crescent's qualifying situation is still very good, and their destiny is still completely in their own hands.

As of now, after two rounds, except for Pachuca who lost all the two games, who were eliminated early, the three teams Real Madrid, Salzburg and Riyadh Crescent are only 2 points away. In the last round, there are still many variables.

Although Real Madrid currently ranks first with 4 points, if they lose to Salzburg in one round, the La Liga giant is likely to be eliminated, because Riyadh Crescent will play against Pachuca who has no desires and no desires. They have a great chance to score 3 points, and Real Madrid will be squeezed to third place and miss the round of 16. Of course, as long as Real Madrid does not lose to Salzburg, they will definitely be able to qualify in the group. If he can defeat his opponent, Real Madrid will lock in the top spot in the group.

As for Riyadh Crescent, although they are currently in third place, as long as they can defeat Pachuca 2-0 in the last round, no matter what the results are in Real Madrid and Salzburg, Riyadh Crescent will qualify in the group. Since Inzaghi just took over the team, he has not been able to fully accept his tactics at present, but I believe that if you give him some time, Riyadh Crescent's performance will improve greatly. If they can make the knockout round, Riyadh Crescent will become a super dark horse at any time. They can draw with Real Madrid in the first round, which has proved their strength!
