Dancing & Teaching in South Africa | Content Writer Focus

The group phase of the club World Cup is over and in addition to the sporting moments, some teams also made curious headlines away from the square.

The Mamelodi Sundowns reach four points in a group with Dortmund, Fluminensee and Ulsan Hyundai. After the draw against the Brazilians, which gave them the fixed departure, the players danced a traditional South African dance to celebrate the good performances after the game. Some fans in the stands also joined this.

But the supporters of other teams also made a name for themselves. After the defeat against Monterrey, which sealed with zero points, the followers of the Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds cleaned up the grandstand himself and left no waste.

But the Asian teams also provided sporting highlights. Tormann Hyeon-Woo Jo from Ulsan almost brought Dortmund to despair in the 0-1 loss with ten parades, Al-Hilal defied Real Madrid 1-1.

The greatest outsider of the tournament was the New Zealand club Auckland City from the start. The only amateur team among the 32 teams conceded with the 0:10 against FC Bayern and the 0: 6 against Benfica Lisbon at the start. Against the Boca Juniors, a 1-1, Christian Gray, full -time teacher, scored the goal on the last match day. “I come from a small town, far from here and very different from this surroundings. That is why it is almost like a dream,” he said after his goal.

Even if the “exotic” mostly had to go home after the group phase, they delivered one or the other extraordinary story.
