Commitment to the Game

One player's dedication to the sport reached new heights as he chose to play in the Club World Cup instead of being present for the birth of his first child.

The Sacrifice

Urawa Red Diamond's defender Marius Hoibraten made the difficult decision to prioritize the tournament over being at home with his partner for the birth of their child.

A Costly Mistake

Unfortunately for Hoibraten, his commitment was met with disappointment as he scored an own goal that opened the scoring for Man City, ultimately leading to Urawa's elimination.

A Moment of Regret

Hoibraten watched in dismay as the ball found the back of the net, undoing his team's hard work and leaving him crestfallen.

A Touch of Solace

Despite the loss, Hoibraten will now have the opportunity to return home earlier than expected and spend time with his newborn child.

Man City Advances

Pep Guardiola's side went on to secure a convincing victory, adding two more goals to their lead and securing a spot in the final.

Final Showdown

Man City will now face Brazilian side Fluminense in the Club World Cup final, as they aim to make history with a treble win.

Unavailable Star Players

However, Man City will have to face the South American team without three key players: Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, and Kevin de Bruyne, who are ineligible to play due to Fifa rules.
