Fluminense pulled off a major coup in the Club World Cup quarter-finals with a commanding 2–0 victory over Inter Milan. German Cano's early goal set the tone, while substitute Hercules cemented the win with a stoppage-time strike, stunning the Champions League runners-up in searing conditions.
Coach Renato's strategic choice for a three-man defense caught Inter off guard, allowing the Libertadores champions to dominate without significant challenges. 'I emphasized that it would work. Inter, despite their financial clout, competed against equals on the field,' Renato commented to DAZN.
