Fluminense upset Inter Milan to reach Club World Cup quarter-finals
Brazilian side Fluminense stunned Champions League finalists Inter Milan by knocking them out of the Club World Cup with a 2-0 victory in Charlotte.
The reign of new head coach Cristian Chivu, who took over following Simone Inzaghi's departure just days after that humbling loss to Paris St Germain a month ago, has not started well as they exited the tournament before the quarter-finals.
Goals from German Cano, after just three minutes, and Hercules in the third added minute at the end of the game sealed the Serie A side's fate.
Fluminense are likely to face Manchester City, who play Al Hilal later in the day, in the quarter-finals.
