In an exciting matchup of underdogs, Fluminense and Al Hilal lock horns at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Friday in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals. Both teams made it here after ousting two European giants in the last 16, proving their mettle.
Rio de Janeiro outfit Fluminense beat Champions League finalists Inter Milan 2-0, courtesy of goals from German Ezequiel and Hercules Pereira.
Having also held Borussia Dortmund goalless in their opening group match, Renato Gaúcho's side demonstrated their big-game mentality once again.
Fluminense have been riding on the back of their stoic defense, which has conceded just twice from four games in the competition so far - both against Ulsan HD in the group stages. Against Inter, they were on the backfoot for a large part of the game, but managed to stave off their attempts and shut the Nerazzurri out.

But there one more twist in this manic affair, as Marcos Leonardo scored a fourth for the Blue Waves in the 112th minute to send City crashing out.
