Fluminense and Al Hilal will compete for a spot in the Club World Cup semi-finals on this evening.
The Brazilian outfit, captained by Thiago Silva, downed Champions League finalists Inter Milan by two goals to nil on Monday night, before the Saudi Pro League side toppled reigning champions Manchester City in a seven-goal blockbuster.
It means there will no reunion of the Serie A giants with former manager Simone Inzaghi, who left the Italian club last month by mutual consent and promptly took the helm at Al-Hilal. His Saudia Arabia-based group boast several players who once plied their trade in Europe’s top leagues including Yassine Bounou, Joao Cancelo, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Inzaghi has gotten off to a bright start in his new role, drawing with Real Madrid in the opening match of the group stage and remaining unbeaten to date, including this week’s triumph over City - who, despite a relatively lacklustre 2024-25 season, were among the favourites to at least reach the latter stages of this tournament in the United States, if not defend their crown.
As they prepare to go head to head for the first time, both teams in this tie will feel they have earned their spots in this Club World Cup quarter-final, with Fluminense also still unbeaten so far in this tournament including their opening round draw against fellow quarter-finalists Borussia Dortmund.
Whoever wins at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium will progress to the semi-finals to face the victor from Chelsea’s clash with Palmeiras.
