Man City, Inter Milan crash out of Club World Cup in last 16 Al Hilal and Fluminense eliminate European giants in shock double
Manchester City crashed out of the Club World Cup with a 4-3 defeat in extra-time by Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal on Monday in the last 16, hours after Inter Milan were eliminated by Fluminense on a day of shock results. Champions League runners-up Inter were dumped out 2-0 by the Brazilian side in Charlotte and Pep Guardiola's City joined them after Marcos Leonardo's brace left the Premier League giants on the wrong end of a seven-goal thriller. Al Hilal, who recorded one of the greatest results in Middle Eastern football history, will face Fluminense in Orlando on Friday in the quarter-finals. City were the only side to win all three group matches, including a thrashing of Juventus, but came undone in Florida against an Al Hilal side filled with players who once starred for European teams. Guardiola's team were the defending champions, having won the trophy in 2024 in its previous format, but were matched blow-for-blow by Al Hilal at the Camping World Stadium. Former Inter coach Simone Inzaghi's side showed their quality in the group stage as they held Spanish giants Real Madrid to a draw, but few expected they could derail City's charge towards the trophy. 'We knew that it was a difficult game against one of the best teams in the world -- we wanted to show our ideas, our talents, our power,' Al Hilal's Kalidou Koulibaly told DAZN. Bernardo Silva turned home from close range to put City ahead after nine minutes on a muggy night on the east coast, but Leonardo levelled early in the second half. Former Barcelona winger Malcom fired the Saudi side ahead after Joao Cancelo threaded him through on goal. Erling Haaland levelled for City and had an effort cleared off the line late on before the game went to extra-time. Koulibaly nodded home from a corner after 94 minutes but Phil Foden finished well to level 10 minutes later. The match was decided by Leonardo reacting well to prod home when Ederson saved Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's header after 112 minutes, with City unable to battle back a third time. 'Unfortunately we can't continue in the competition so we have to learn and keep moving forward,' Guardiola told reporters. 'Al Hilal don't just run, they have a lot of quality, we created a lot with wingers but they are a complete team... 'I have a big, big opinion of Al Hilal but I (also) think we had a good game to be honest.' Inter ousted Elsewhere Monday, German Cano headed home early on to give Fluminense the lead against Inter Milan and the Brazilian side survived an onslaught from the Serie A team to progress. Substitute Hercules netted late on to seal their win, while a frustrated Inter hit the woodwork twice through Lautaro Martinez and Federico Dimarco. The Rio de Janeiro outfit become the second Brazilian side to make the last eight after Palmeiras had already sealed their quarter-final spot. sdfs
