Young striker Gonzalo Garcia scored his fourth goal of the Club World Cup and Kylian Mbappe his first as Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2 on Saturday to set up a mouthwatering semifinal against European champion Paris Saint-Germain.
Garcia, 21, put Madrid ahead from close range early on a hot afternoon at MetLife Stadium just outside New York City, and Fran Garcia then doubled his club's lead before the midway point in the first half.
