Kylian Mbappe scored an acrobatic late overhead kick as Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in their Club World Cup quarter-final on Saturday to set up a last-four showdown against European champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Real were cruising to a comfortable win thanks to two early goals by Gonzalo Garcia and Fran Garcia before a crazy late flurry of activity at the MetLife Stadium.
Maximilian Beier pulled one back in the 93rd minute, Mbappe made it 3-1, and then Serhou Guirassy scored a penalty for Dortmund after Real’s Dean Huijsen was sent off.
