US EditionRiver Plate Ease Past Urawa to Start Club World Cup Tilt
SEATTLE, USA, JUN 17 – River Plate continued South America's unbeaten run in the expanded Club World Cup by scoring three headed goals against Urawa Red Diamonds, who fought back with a second-half penalty.
- On June 17, 2025, River Plate from Argentina defeated Japan's Urawa Reds 3-1 in a Club World Cup Group E match at Seattle's Lumen Field.
- Urawa Reds entered the tournament as 2022 Asian Champions League winners but struggled early, conceding goals through defensive errors and a mistimed foul leading to a penalty.
- River Plate took an early lead through Facundo Colidio's header, added a second via Sebastian Driussi despite his injury, and secured victory with Maximiliano Meza's unmarked header from a corner.
- Urawa's Yusuke Matsuo scored a second-half penalty after an fouled Takuro Kaneko, but coach Maciej Skorza called the 3-1 defeat "disappointing" and said the team conceded too easily despite a better second half.
- The outcome leaves Urawa with slim chances to progress, while River Plate's strong performance helps maintain the unbeaten streak of South American teams in the recently broadened Club World Cup competition.
