FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Quarter-Final: Fluminense Beat Al-Hilal To Enter Semis
In a closely contested match between the last two FIFA Club World Cup runners-up, Fluminense triumphed over Al-Hilal with a score of 2-1, securing their spot in the semi-finals. Both teams had previously achieved surprising upsets to reach this stage, and while they each displayed moments of good passing in the first 15 minutes, neither posed a significant threat in attack. Nonito was played in behind the defence by Jhon Arias but missed the target with his shot. At the other end, Nasser Al-Dawsari had his attempt blocked by Ignácio. As the defensive play continued, it came at a cost: Renan Lodi and Juan Freytes both received yellow cards around the cooling break, which means they will miss the semi-final, depending on which team advances.
