Al-Hilal struck twice in extra time to beat Manchester City 4-3 and book their place in the Club World Cup quarter-finals. Pep Guardiola's men struggled to maintain their high levels from the group stage as a slack defensive display cost them in a seven-goal thriller at Camping World Stadium.
City only conceded two goals in the group stage of the tournament, with both of those being scored by Juventus in the last game, but they struggled to find their rhythm on Monday.
Yassine Bounou made impressive saves to keep Al-Hilal in the game, and just 42 seconds after the break, Marcos Leonardo scored his first of the match, guiding a header past Ederson after City had failed to clear their lines.
With nothing to separate the teams, Kalidou Koulibaly cushioned a looping header over Ederson four minutes into extra time, though Phil Foden dragged City level again 10 minutes later.
