Al Jazira can start readying themselves for a glamour clash with Real Madrid at the Club World Cup following victory over Urawa Reds.

The UAE champions gave the home support plenty to shout about in their latest outing as they edged past Japanese opposition and into the semi-finals.

A solitary effort from Ali Mabkhout proved to be enough for Al Jazira, with the winning effort coming seven minutes into the second half.

A composed strike, having raced clear on goal, settled a tight contest, with Urawa goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa seeing the ball rolled through his legs.
