In a thrilling upset, Fluminense triumphed over Inter Milan with a 2–0 victory in the Club World Cup quarter-finals. German Cano's early header and Hercules' decisive stoppage-time goal ensured Fluminense's progress in the tournament.

Inter Milan sought an equaliser in the second half but were continually thwarted by Fluminense's disciplined defense. Italian hopes were dashed as Stefan de Vrij missed a close-range opportunity, and their offensive efforts were curtailed by goalkeeper Fabio and the post.

The match's excitement peaked when substitute Hercules scored three minutes into added time, confirming Fluminense's place in the last-eight, where they will face either Manchester City or Al Hilal on Friday in Orlando.
