The ‘Flu’ won 2-1 against Al-Hilal thanks to goals from Martinelli and H\u00e9rcules, and remains alive in the Club World Cup with a guaranteed pass to the semi-finals<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Fluminense<\/strong> is the first team to qualify for the semi-finals of the 2025 Club World Cup<\/a>, after beating 2-1 to Al-Hilal<\/strong> with goals from Matheus Martinelli<\/strong> and H\u00e9rcules<\/strong>, responded by Marcos Leonardo<\/strong>, in a match that became a ‘rush’ of emotions. Especially, from the second half. <\/p>

The match became quite dense in the first half, with two cautious teams on the pitch, apparently more interested in testing the opponent’s performance<\/strong> than in generating any kind of danger. This meant that much of this first section was not too brilliant, far from what a duel in this type of instance should be.<\/p>

Martinelli’s goal and immediate reaction from Al-Hilal<\/h2>

It wouldn’t be until the 39th minute when the first emotion of the match arrived. This landed courtesy of Matheus Martinelli<\/strong>, <\/strong>who, taking advantage of a poor clearance from Jo\u00e3o Cancelo, recovered the ball in the area. After controlling the ball, he turned around and took a dry left-footed shot to beat Bono<\/strong>‘s resistance.<\/p>

AN AUTHENTIC MISSILE TO THE SQUAD \ud83d\ude80

WHAT A GREAT GOAL FROM MARTINELLI TO MAKE FLUMINENSE DREAM! \ud83d\ude4c@FIFACWC<\/a> | All matches for free at https:\/\/t.co\/yWCWbevPop<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/vVS99KDqmU<\/a><\/p> \u2014 DAZN F\u00fatbol (@DAZNFutbol) July 4, 2025<\/a> <\/blockquote> <\/div>

That score ended up being the necessary wake-up call to ignite the match. Shortly after, Al-Hilal<\/strong> generated a stellar dangerous chance with a header from Koulibaly<\/strong> in the area that was repelled in extremis by Fabio<\/strong>, goalkeeper of the ‘Flu’ and <\/strong>who, going to the ground with a providential stretch, kept the zero in his goal.<\/p>

Zero that, by the way, was about to break in a risky situation just before the break. In the 47th minute, the referee, Danny Makkelie<\/strong>, was close to whistling a penalty in favor of Al-Hilal<\/strong> after an action in which Samuel Xavier<\/strong> brought down Marcos Leonardo<\/strong> inside the area. However, after reviewing the play in the VAR, the referee ruled that there was no infraction.<\/p>

Marcos Leonardo tied with a great goal after the break<\/h2>

Already in the second half, both squads came out in ‘rock and roll mode’, and Simone Inzaghi’s<\/strong> team tied at 49′. The executioner was the ‘Emperor’, Marcos Leonardo<\/strong>, <\/strong>who, taking advantage of a ball lowered to the area with a header from Koulibaly<\/strong>, <\/strong>received and, without saying a word, drew a point-blank whiplash, impossible for Fabio<\/strong>.<\/p>

That score marked the starting gun for what ended up being an authentic exchange of blows<\/strong>, <\/strong>almost like a boxing match. The clearest chance beyond the goal came in the 54th minute, after a serious mistake by Renan Lodi<\/strong>, <\/strong>who, with a defective pass back, enabled Germ\u00e1n Cano<\/strong> in total solitude.<\/p>

However, Bono<\/strong> appeared with a top intervention, managing to get the ball in the one-on-one with a saving slap. If it wasn’t for him, it was the clear 2-1.<\/p>

H\u00e9rcules scored the definitive 2-1 and put the ‘Flu’ in the semi-finals<\/h2>

Where Bono<\/strong> couldn’t do anything was in the 71st minute, when Fluminense<\/strong> scored the 2-1. H\u00e9rcules<\/strong> did not waste a bad rejection from the defense of Al-Hilal<\/strong>, <\/strong>sneaked through the right sector of the area and, with the ball dominated, took a crossed right-footed shot to the farthest post of the fortress defended by the Moroccan ‘1’. Little to do.<\/p>

HALF MAN, HALF GOD \ud83d\udd25

H\u00e9rcules put strength into it. He put courage into it. WHAT A GOAL FOR FLUMINENSE! \ud83d\udcaa@FIFACWC<\/a> | All matches for free at https:\/\/t.co\/yWCWbevPop<\/a> | #FIFACWC<\/a> #TakeItToTheWorld<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/6mkcpMq65G<\/a><\/p> \u2014 DAZN F\u00fatbol (@DAZNFutbol) July 4, 2025<\/a> <\/blockquote> <\/div>

Precisely, that would be the last change in the score, in a match that, towards the end, became quite moved, with chances from side to side. An Al-Hilal<\/strong> more proactive due to the need for the result, and a ‘Flu’ <\/strong>who knew how to hold on very well \u2014from physical exhaustion\u2014 in the defensive section. And when it was reactive, it managed to destabilize the bottom of the Arab combined.<\/p>

A victory that qualifies Fluminense<\/strong> to the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025<\/strong>, <\/strong>for the second time in its history. From here, those of Renato Ga\u00facho<\/strong> await a rival between Palmeiras<\/strong> and Chelsea<\/strong>.<\/p>
