With the fifth place in the competition at stake, Mauricio made sure it was Urawa Reds who deserved it with a fine shot from long range. It was unstoppable for the goalkeeper.
The pass came in from the right wing and the defender lifted his head before sending a swerving ball flying into the net.
It was so unexpected there was nothing the goalkeeper could do to stop the ball from creeping into the top corner.
A beautiful strike to open the scoring and, without question, one of the best goals we have seen in this edition of the Club World Cup.
