The club World Cup is over for Champions League finalist Inter Milan. A club from Rio de Janeiro moves into the quarter -finals.
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 players from Fluminense cheered again – but too early. Central defender Ignacio was offside in his supposed header in the arena, which is more than 75,000 spectators.
Shortly before the break whistle there was a small tumult on the lawn. Inters Henrich Mchitarjan wanted to make a throw-in on the sidelines, but flumin sea coach Renato Gaúcho gave way to the former Dortmund. Mchitarjan then clashed with Gaúcho and some 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 Martinez (82nd) only hit the post for the Champions League finalist. Hercules made the victory for the Brazilians perfect in added time.
