Fluminense Qualifies with Difficulty to the Semi-Finals of the Club World Cup After Beating Al Hilal Saudi Club
Al Hilal Saudi Club failed to continue their journey in the Club World Cup after losing the match 1-2 to the Brazilian team Fluminense at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Friday evening.
Al Hilal's adventure started unexpectedly well when they managed to eliminate Manchester City from the previous round, after a dramatic 4-3 victory in extra time. However, their ambition was halted by Fluminense’s strong attack, which scored two goals through Martinelli (40) and substitute Hercules Pereira (70), while Al Hilal’s only goal was scored by player Marcus Leonardo in the 51st minute.
Fluminense will face the winner of the match between their compatriot Palmeiras and Chelsea of England in the semi-final, which will be played on July 8 at the MetLife Stadium in New York, in a decisive encounter for the title.
