It kicks off on Saturday, June 21, at 12:00 local time (21:00 CET) at the Lumen Field in Seattle.
The Nerazzurri made their Club World Cup debut earlier this week, collecting a 1-1 draw against Mexican club Monterrey.
Inter have been placed in Group E alongside Monterrey, Urawa Red Diamonds and River Plate.
New Inter coach Cristian Chivu has recovered the likes of Denzel Dumfries and Francesco Pio Esposito, but the Nerazzurri must cope without Yann Bisseck, Hakan Calhanoglu, Davide Frattesi, Marcus Thuram and Piotr Zielinski, who are all dealing with injuries.
Lautaro Martinez has scored Inter’s only goal in the competition so far, finalising a free-kick routine in the first half of Tuesday’s match against Monterrey.
Their final group stage game is against River Plate on Wednesday, June 25, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles at 12:00 local time (Thursday, June 26, at 3:00 CET).
Full-time whistle goes as Carboni’s goal gives Chivu his first victory as Inter head coach.
Valentin Carboni pounces on the ball in the box to win the game for Inter in stoppage time. Heartbreak for Urawa but elation for Inter.
There are four minutes added time to be played.
Inter are running out of time here as Urawa attempt to suck every last second out of the game. With just a couple of minutes left of normal time, Inter will need something special to avoid remaining winless in the Club World Cup.
Thiago Santana has been booked for Urawa.
Heartbreak for Urawa as Lautaro Martinez scores an outstanding overhead kick from a Nicolo Barella corner.
1-1 with 12 minutes to play.
More substitutions for Inter as Asllani makes way for Carboni and Dimarco is replaced by Bastoni.
Inter have their best chance of the second half as Henrikh Mkhitaryan side-foots an attempt just wide of the goal from within the penalty box.
Inter debutant Luis Henrique was caught napping on the ball and an incisive Urawa counter-attack nearly gifted the Japanese side a second goal – but the end shot was scuffed and flew over the bar.
Moments after coming on, Urawa player Takahiro Sekine was booked for a nasty challenge.
Urawa receive the first yellow card of the game, with goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa booked for time-wasting.
Kristjan Aslant did well to fashion a shot for himself but fired wide as Inter pick up where they left off at the end of the first-half, completely on top of Urawa.
Inter have made the first changes of the match.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has come on for Nicola Zalewski and Francesco Pio Esposito comes on for his brother Sebastiano.
Inter finished the half with 70% possession and 9 shots, registering none on target.
Urawa scored with their only shot of the game so far and have completed just 72 passes completed compared to Inter’s 431.
The half-time whistle goes and Urawa’s determination is rewarded as they head into the break with the lead.
Watanabe’s goal separates the two sides and, despite dominating for the entire half, Inter find themselves with a lot of work to do to save their Club World Cup campaign.
As we enter the last minutes of the first half, props must be given to the travelling Urawa Red Diamonds fans. They are making a lot of noise and their section is buzzing.
Inter are still on top, with Nicola Zalewski looking dangerous on the left flank especially.
However, the Japanese side are defending well and making the most of stoppages to break up the Nerazzurri momentum.
Good play from Inter sees a good ball put into the air around six-yards out. Lautaro Martinez rose to meet the ball but his header thumped across the crossbar. The match is all Inter at the moment.

The eagle-eyed among you may recognise Urawa’s #11 Samuel Gustafson, the midfielder having spent five years in Italy.
Gustafson made nine appearances for Torino in Serie A across the 2016/17 and 17/18 seasons before spells with Perugia, Hellas Verona and Cremonese in Serie B.
For5a Urawa.
ROFL 1-0 Urawa. Chivu is a disaster.
Remember, when Chivu gets fired a month into the season, it will be Marotta and Ausilio’s fault.
