Fluminense strike late to beat Ulsan in CWC thriller

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Juan Freytes scored the go-ahead goal in the 83rd minute and Fluminense beat Ulsan 4-2 in the Club World Cup on Saturday.

Fluminense is now tied with Borussia Dortmund atop Group F and can clinch a berth in the knockout rounds with win or a draw against the Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday. Ulsan, which plays Dortmund on Wednesday, was eliminated from the competition with the loss.

Jhon Arias bent a 25-yard free kick inside the right post and under the crossbar in the 27th minute to open the scoring for Fluminense.

Lee Jin-hyun, on the counterattack, put away a cross played by Um Wonsang into a wide-open net to tie it in the 37th and Um scored on diving header, off a low ball-in played by Lee, in first-half stoppage time to give Ulsan a 2-1 lead at halftime.

Nonato stopped a clearance attempt near the top of the penalty area and tapped a shot inside the right post in the 66th minute to tie the score 2-2.

Keno capped the scoring in the second minute of stoppage time.

"We knew if we played [in the second half] with the intensity that we did against Borussia, we could win this game," Nonato said. "That is what we changed [at halftime]: mindset."

Ulsan goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo made a diving stop in the second minute and moments later had a leaping one-hand parry.

"I think we gave it all," Ulsan midfielder Gustav Ludwigson said. "Like, we left nothing on the field, so we cannot be anything other than satisfied with our performance. We played a very good team, so it's not only up to us.

"Sadly, we couldn't keep up in the second half."
