Argentine powerhouse River Plate kicked off its FIFA Club World Cup run with a 3-1 win over Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds.
Heading into the tournament, data provider Opta gave River Plate just an 11% chance to win Group E, which includes Inter Milan, Monterrey and Urawa. But after a strong Matchday 1 win and a 1-1 draw between Inter and Monterrey, River leads the group with increased chances to advance, even if its two toughest opponents still lie ahead.
