Sebastian Driussi scored for River Plate but was injured in the process, Marcos Acuña recorded two assists and the Argentine club beat the Urawa Red Diamonds 3-1 in the Club World Cup at Lumen Field in Seattle.

The summer of soccer is taking a new look this year with the FIFA Club World Cup, which brings the first edition of the expanded competition to the United States for a 32 team tournament featuring teams from around the world competing for a share of the $1 billion prize purse.

River Plate opened their Club World Cup campaign with a 3-1 win over Urawa Red Diamonds on Tuesday, with goals from Facundo Colidio, Sebastian Driussi and Maxi Meza enough to see off a spirited challenge from the Japanese side.
