Valentin Carboni scored one last winner to break the hearts of the Urawa reds and move Inter Milan to the top of group E in the Club World Cup.
It seemed to be an afternoon of frustration for the A series team, which worked after being left behind in the first game of the first half of Ryoma Watanabe in Seattle.
But Lautaro Martínez scored a spectacular equalizer with 12 minutes for the end and Carboni’s effort deepened in the detention time, resolved a low quality meeting and eliminated the Japanese side.
Late drama and a late goal!

Inter chief of the first half, without creating a lot of opportunities.
The chances of which they had were wasted and paid the price with ruthless Urawa compared despite spending a large part of the 45 minutes on the rear foot.
The Nerazzurri began brilliantly and only two minutes had passed when Nicola Zalewski’s cross was centimeters from Sebastian Esposito in the distant publication.
Inter continued to camp on the edge of the Urawa area just to be caught by a blow of Sucker after 11 minutes.
Watanabe Stuns Inter
Takuro Kaneko hit his man on the right and his cut was perfect for Watanabe to sweep Yann Sommer.
The Inter was not having the ball race and another fight in the mouth of goals saw them not match four minutes after being left behind: Luis Henrique and Carlos Augusto denied.
The frustration of Inter was growing with Martínez next to approaching a header that crashed from the crossbar.
The second half continued in a similar vein with the intermediate of the ball, but only handling the half opportunities.
Kristjan Asllani shot from the edge of the area, while Federico Di Marco flew a registered brand effort on the bar.
And, as they did in the first half, Urawa wore a threat to the counter.
They could have doubled their advantage after 69 minutes with a break of three against two led by Watanabe. The striker should have played in a teammate, but chose to shoot and his effort flew over the Sommer crossbar.
Martínez and Carboni have the last word
It was to demonstrate a crucial moment as Inter.
It did not seem so much danger when another corner flew to the Urawa area, but the star of Argentina Martínez somehow produced an aerial kick that passed through the goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa and the defenders in the line.
77 ′ Lautarrrrrro! 🚲🐂🇦🇷
Incredible Attack by Martínez and @Bury They are levels!

It seemed that Urawa had done enough to win a point, and could give their bustling fans that their commitment deserved, just for a bobling ball inside the area to fall right at the foot of Carboni and placed a shot in the lower left corner.
