Al Hilal achieved a stunning 4-3 victory over Manchester City in the FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals after extra time. Despite missing key players due to injury, Al Hilal turned the game around in the second half and clinched victory with a late goal from Marcos Leonardo. Manchester City, who dominated the first half, faced disappointment and lost the chance to significantly increase their prize money. The match showcased excitement and competitive spirit, serving as a highlight for FIFA's expanded Club World Cup format.
Al Hilal caused the biggest shock of the FIFA Club World Cup so far as they dumped out Manchester City on a dramatic night in Orlando.
Al Hilal, missing key players Salem Al-Dawsari and Aleksandar Mitrovic through injury, eventually prevailed in a rollercoaster game thanks to Marcos Leonardo's 112th-minute winner.
City boss Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, was left to contemplate what might have been. It was an expensive defeat, costing the Premier League giants the chance to increase the £37.8 million prize money.
FIFA will consider it the perfect advertisement for their new expanded Club World Cup. Two big teams from different federations going head-to-head. Goals, chances, drama and excitement.
