Thiago Silva and his teammates won 2-0 against the Vice-European Champions of Inter Milan on Monday, in Charlotte, in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup.
Surprise to Charlotte. Fluminense composted his ticket for the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup for the benefit of his 2-0 victory over Inter Milan on Monday at the Bank of America Stadium. Effective, the Brazilians marked in the third minute before making the break in stoppage games. They showed a solidarity at all times between the two achievements, to stand up to vice-European champions in lack of idea, movement, a little. Success too. There will therefore be two Brazilian clubs in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, Palmeiras (who released Botafogo) and therefore Fluminense, who will find the winner of Manchester City-Al-Hilal on July 4 in Orlando. For Inter Milan, which has touched the amounts twice, it is a new disillusionment.
It started badly for Inter. A heads, a diverted center of Arias and Cano’s head, alone at six meters (0-1, 3rd). Cold stroke for the Nerazzurri, who only reacted timidly (5th, 11th, 24th). At the start of the chopped match, with the ball in the Italian feet but little danger. Arias made his technique admire. Then his ball strike, summarize that it could not do better than to repel on Xavier, which lacked the frame of a nothing (30th). Fluminense took his ease, with phases of possession. A little hope for the Inter with this Dimarco free kick (37th), but above all an outdated defense and which avoided the goal thanks to an offside position of Ignacio (40th). The Inter struggling in this end of the first stormy period, Mkhitaryan responding to a small petty factory by the Fluminense coach, Renato Gaucho, and all the Brazilian bench got involved (0-1 Mt).
Fluminense folds but does not break
Recovery, and Italian revolt? Not really. Ignacio multiplied saving interventions within a defense that was holding good. In fact, it was even Fluminense that was the first opportunity worthy of the name in the second period. Still Arias who lit the wick from afar, a deviated strike which forced summed up the big game (62nd). In defensively difficulty, Vrij was far from the level of excellence of his Swiss goalkeeper. The Dutch defender even lacked the inevitable offensive on a good delivery of Lautaro’s head (70th).
An opportunity which symbolized in any case a highlight of Inter, which ended well. Dimarco gave frights to the Brazilian rear guard with this magnificent free kick, very close to the setting (75th). The intelligence of the former captain of PSG Thiago Silva, the aggressiveness of Ignacio, the Vista d’Arias … The Rio de Janeiro club resisted in front of Nerazzurri who lacked many things, like this too soft strike from Lautaro (80th). Which Lautaro was perfectly served by Esposito but rose to a large Fabio (82nd) before being upset by the post (82nd). This time, the Inter had hand. This time, Fluminense suffered and counted the minutes. Hercules was not far from the Break against (84th). KO in the air. Augusto came to a great opportunity (90+1). And Hercules killed the suspense (0-2, 90+4). Maximum efficiency, unlike the Inter which touched the bar by Dimarco (90+5), but a deserved victory for Fluminense (0-2 Final score).
