Italian top side Inter Milan were outclassed by Brazilian club Fluminense in the ongoing Club World Cup. Inter Milan suffered a shocking 2-0 loss as they fail to reach the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. Inter had all the chances and played well but could not find the back of the net.
Striker German Cano’s stooping header in the third minute of the game had put the Brazilian side ahead and substitute Hercules goal sealed the victory. The player scored a curling edge-of-the-box shot against the run of play in a difficult last 25 minutes.
Inter Milan skipper Lautaro Martinez had a series of chances to equalise before the second goal. He had a had one of his chance going against the post late. Also, Federico Dimarco came close to scoring from two free-kicks and had a close-range shot from a wide angle.
But the best chance fell to Dutch defender Stefan de Vrij after Martinez’s clever knockdown. The match was played in front of a crowd of just 20,030 in the final match at the 74,867-capacity Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
Fluminese join fellow Brazilian club Palmeiras in the quarterfinals and will face the winner of Manchester City’s match with Al-Hilal in the Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Friday.
