In a pivotal Group F encounter at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, Fluminense clinched a spot in the Club World Cup round of 16. A goalless draw against Mamelodi Sundowns was enough for the Brazilian side to advance.
Despite a challenging match and being on the defensive, Fluminense secured the necessary point, finishing second in their group, behind Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund took the top spot after a narrow 1-0 victory over Ulsan HD.
