In the second round of the 2025 Club World Cup Group E, Inter Milan defeated Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds 1-2 after falling behind by one goal thanks to goals from Lautaro and Carboni. Kivu said he was very happy for Carboni who scored and that the other players also worked hard.

In the 11th minute, Takuro Kaneko broke through the defense and passed the ball, who was then scored by Ryoma Watanabe, helping Urawa Red Diamonds take the lead 1-0.

In the 78th minute of the second half, Barrera took a corner kick, and Lautaro hooked the ball into the goal despite the defense, helping Inter Milan to tie the score at 1-1. In the second half stoppage time, Carboni received a pass from Pio Esposito and pushed the ball into the goal, helping Inter Milan to overtake 2-1.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Urawa Red Diamonds 2-1 at the Lumen Stadium. After getting 3 points, Inter Milan is currently ranked second in the Group E standings with 4 points, the same as the first place River Plate.

Inter Milan coach Chivu said, "We played very well and it was a professional performance. We tried various ways to score goals and constantly threatened the opponent. We replaced Pio Esposito in the second half and tried to use crosses to find opportunities. We didn't give up until the end."

"I'm proud of the team and the players really gave their all. I could talk a lot about Carboni's performance, but I also want to mention Pio Esposito, Luis Enrique and Sucic, who also gave a lot.

"I'm especially happy for Carboni because this is his first game back from injury, exactly eight months after his injury," Kifu said. "He worked so hard to get back on the court, and it's great to see him back on the court and happy."

"It's hard to talk about formations and styles against a team that defends very deep. But I like the way the team tries to attack from the flanks and we can quickly attack with two players supporting the striker."

Kifu also said, "I had hoped that this style of play could continue until the end of the game, but because we were behind at one point, we had to put more players into the penalty area and create some chances through crosses."

In addition, Inter Milan striker Lautaro said in an interview, "In fact, this is the same as the first game. We will be like this in every game because we are facing teams from different continents and they all performed well. We must be proud and humble at the same time and be prepared to endure hardships when necessary. We are indeed a little frustrated because the opponent scored almost through the only chance."

"Our usual level may be limited by the opponent, we have to prepare and continue to grow. I didn't actually see my goal fly into the net, but I had imagined the way it would be scored before the corner kick. Sometimes, when you want something enough, it really happens."
