Brazil's Fluminense upset Inter to reach quarters

Fluminense reached the Club World Cup quarterfinals with a stunning 2-0 win over Inter Milan as German Cano's early goal and Hercules' stoppage-time strike toppled the Champions League runners-up on Monday.

The Brazilians struck after three minutes when Cano pounced on a deflected cross and headed in from close range, putting the ball through goalkeeper Yann Sommer's legs for a dream start.

Inter pushed for an equalizer after the break but were frustrated by a well-organized defense. Stefan de Vrij missed a close-range chance, keeper Fábio denied Sebastiano Esposito with his feet and Lautaro Martínez struck the post.

Substitute Hercules sealed the win for Fluminense three minutes into added time, calmly slotting home from the edge of the box to send the Brazilians through to a last-eight clash with either Manchester City or Al Hilal on Friday in Orlando.

As the match was winding down Fluminense players jumped up and down on the sideline. That celebration carried over to the field after the match, where they hopped up and down in unison in a huddle, their arms wrapped around each other.

Fluminense are the second Brazilian club to reach the quarterfinals after Palmeiras advanced with a win over another team from Brazil's Serie A in Botafogo.
