In the final round of Group F, Borussia Dortmund had an important 1-0 victory over the weakest team in the group, Ulsan Hyundai, thanks to the only goal by Daniel Svensson.
This victory helped the European representative get 7 points after three matches, winning the top spot in Group F.
Meanwhile, in the "life and death" match, Fluminense was rated higher but only managed a 0-0 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns FC.
However, this draw was enough to help Fluminense advance straight to the next round in second place in Group F with 5 points.
In Group E, Inter Milan won 2-0 against River Plate thanks to goals from Francesco Pio Esposito and Alessandro Bastoni after having the advantage of playing with one more player.
In the remaining match, Monterrey affirmed its superiority over Urawa Red Diamonds with a 4-0 victory.
Nelson Deossa, German Berterame (double) and Jesus Corona took turns scoring to help the home team defeat the Asian representative.
With this result, Inter Milan advanced straight to the knockout round as Group E winners, while Monterrey overcame River Plate to take second place in the group.
Thus, the round of 16 has determined 6 pairs to compete for tickets to the quarterfinals.
According to the bracket, Champions League runner-up Inter Milan (Group E winner) will face Fluminense (Group F runner-up), while Borussia Dortmund (Group F winner) will face Monterrey (Group E runner-up).
Previously, groups A, B, C and D were also completed and the four round of 16 matches were also determined. The eight teams that have advanced include Palmeiras, Inter Miami (group A), Paris Saint-Germain, Botafogo FR (group B), Benfica, Bayern Munich (group C), Flamengo and Chelsea (group D).
In the round of 16, Palmeiras will join Botafogo FR to create a "Brazilian civil war", Paris Saint-Germain will face Inter Miami. Benfica will face Chelsea while Flamengo will face the challenge of Bayern Munich.
In addition to the above teams, the two "giants" of European football, Man City and Juventus, have also quickly brought Group G to a conclusion. These two teams will face off in the final round to compete for first and second place in the group.
Man City and Juventus' opponents will also be determined after the final round of Group H ends. In Group H, Real Madrid, Red Bull Salzburg (4 points) and Al-Hilal (2 points) will compete for the two remaining tickets to the knockout round.
In the final round of this group, Real Madrid will have to play a "life and death" match with Red Bull Salzburg, while Asia's hope Al-Hilal is expected to overcome Pachuca (Mexico).
Al-Hilal has continuously created big surprises by holding two highly rated opponents, Real Madrid and Pachuca, to draws. This result will certainly be a great motivation for coach Simone Inzaghi and his team to continue to make their mark.
