🎥 Fluminense make history, beat Inter Milan and reach the quarter-finals | OneFootball

Fluminense made history this Monday (30).

Playing at the Bank of America Stadium, in Charlotte, the Tricolor defeated Inter Milan by 2 x 0 thanks to goals from Germán Cano and Hercules.

And it's in the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup after several standout performances. Cases of Thiago Silva, Ignacio, Fábio, and Arias, for example.

Taking another 13 million dollars, about R$ 70.9 million, by expanding the Brazilian presence among the eight best teams in the world.

It has already earned R$ 217.5 million in prizes so far.

And now waits for the winner of Manchester City x Al-Hilal, who will face each other later this Monday (10 PM Brasília time).

Make the L double immediately 🇭🇺

It was a "dream" start for the tricolor fans.

Fluminense entered "pumped", competing and pressuring the nerazzurri team.

And took the lead just three minutes in, when they didn't give up on the right and Cano was lethal to score in his 200th game for the Tricolor.

Inter started to have more game volume after falling behind. And only didn't equalize thanks to Fábio.

The sequence was of a Fluminense again with more possession - after moments of a more comfortable Inter.

And had a good chance with Samuel Xavier.

The strategy set up by Renato worked again.

The entries of Ignacio and Bernal made Fluminense taller and more combative.

Inter, on the other hand, did not find itself in the middle and stopped creating well from the wings - a known advantage. It went to the break owing.

Attempts

Chivu did not delay in making the first changes. Ensuring new breath and more creative power, as the Italian team did not return suffocating.

Jhon Arias only didn't extend the lead because of the great save by Sommer.

A move that was followed by intense (and expected) pressure from Inter.

Fábio 🆚 Lautaro

Until then without being able to contribute, Lautaro Martínez became the great tricolor fear.

He forced Fábio with his 44 years and two good saves. And he even hit the left post.

🤩 Fluminense is for those who believe

Inter's desperation intensified.

Leaving Renato's team with the chance to "kill" the game.

It was up to Hercules to score the most important goal of his career at 47'.

Sealing a historic performance. And a deserved qualification.

Schedule 📅

Fluminense will face the winner of Manchester City 🆚 Al-Hilal, which will kick off at 10 PM (Brasília time).

The quarterfinal match will be next Friday (4), at the Camping World Stadium, in Orlando.

Whoever passes will guarantee another 21 million dollars (R$ 114.5 million) and will have Palmeiras or Chelsea ahead in the semifinal.
