Real Madrid came out blazing against African champions Al Ahly in the Club World Cup semi-final clash.
The Egyptians didn’t concede a goal in their opening first four matches, but had a different encounter against the UEFA Champions League holders.
Al Ahly were compact in the first-half, and it took until the 42nd minute for the Los Blancos to open the scoring.
With three minutes to go in the first-half, Rodrygo assisted Vinicius for the first goal.
Immediately after the restart, Federico Valverde doubled the lead for United.
Eduardo Camavinga would then concede a penalty shortly after the hour mark, which was calmly converted by Ali Maaloul.
The pressure then began to build, and Luka Modric would miss a penalty kick in the 87th minute.
Rodrygo scored a stoppage time goal, and another from substitute Sergio Arribas sealed a massive semi-final win for Real Madrid.
Madrid would face Al-Hilal in the final on Saturday.
