For Inter Milan, the club World Cup in the USA ended with a bitter disappointment. The Champions League finalist lost 0: 2 (0: 1) in the round of 16. German Cano (3rd minute) and Hercules (90.+3) scored the hits for the Brazilian team from Rio de Janeiro at temperatures of well over 30 degrees in Charlotte.
The inter-players of coach Cristian Chivu seemed tired at the heat in the stadium at the beginning of the game. Already in the 3. minute, the South Americans used an inattentiveness of the Italian defense in front of only 20 030 spectators. The Argentinier Cano headed the ball from the legs 1-0 to the former Bundesliga goalkeeper Yann Sommer. In the 39th minute, the Fluminense players cheered again – but too early. Central defender Ignacio was offside in his supposed header in the arena, which was actually more than 75,000 spectators.

At the club World Cup, the Munich sports director reports from the secret surgery to recruit Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart. It becomes clear how close the criticism of his transfer policy is.
Shortly before the break whistle there was a small tumult on the lawn. Inters Henrikh Mkhitaryan wanted to make a throw-in on the sidelines, but flumin sea coach Renato Gaúcho gave way to the former Dortmund. Mkhitaryan then clashed with Gaúcho and a few fluminense players. Referee Ivan Barton showed Gaúcho the yellow card because of the unsportsmanlike.
In the second half, too, the Brazilians first had more off the game. Inter-goalkeeper Sommer was just able to steer a remarkable shot by Jhon Arias around the post in the 62nd minute. At the end of the game, Inter came dangerously a few times in front of the Fluminense-Tor. Striker Lautaro Martínez (82nd) only hit the post for the Champions League finalists. Hercules made the victory for the Brazilians perfect in added time.
