RABAT :Real Madrid reached the Club World Cup final after goals from Vinicius Jr, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo and Sergio Arribas secured a 4-1 win over Egypt's Al Ahly in Morocco on Wednesday.
The white Real Madrid jerseys outnumbered Al Ahly’s red by a huge margin and the Morocco fans even displayed a giant banner in support of the Spanish giants, creating a vibrant atmosphere and a din that is rare for a Club World Cup in what was supposed to be a neutral stadium. Vinicius shot wide in the 28th minute and Rodrygo hit the post but Real opened the scoring right on halftime.
Valverde extended Real's lead just after the break, tapping into an empty net after the goalkeeper had palmed away Rodrygo's point-blank strike.
