Real Madrid are in the Club World Cup final, but it was far from straightforward. Ancelotti's side were the better team and hit the front just before half-time when Vinicius took advantage of a defensive error. Fede Valverde looked to have ended the contest when he struck moments into the second half, but Al-Ahly got a lifeline when Camavinga gave away a penalty. Maaloul converted to set up a nervy finish and the African side nearly levelled through a Mohamed header, but Lunin saved.
