The title favorite Manchester City has sensationally failed at the round of 16 in the round of 16 on Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia. The team of the starting coach Pep Guardiola lost 3: 4 (2: 2, 1: 0) after extra time and now has to go home from the USA. Al-Hilal calls for Flumineense in the quarterfinals, the Brazilians had previously eliminated the Champions League finalist Inter Milan (2: 0).
In the extension, Marcos Leonardo (113.) achieved the decision for Al-Hilal with his second goal of the evening, in which the former inter-coach Simone Inzaghi sits on the coaching bench. Kalidou Koulibaly (95th), Leonardo (46th) and Malcolm (52nd) were also successful. Mancity had taken the lead through Bernardo Silva (9th), Erling Haaland (55th) and Phil Foden (104.) each equalized.
After the early tour, the game seemed to take the expected course. Mancity with Ilkay Gündogan in the starting eleven dominated the game, but gave chance for chance and missed the second goal. This revenge when Al-Hilal turned the game with the first two occasions. After all, Haaland saved the English into the extension, but there they had no answer there after the new deficit.
The success of Fluminense against Inter had also been surprisingly. The Brazilians, who had become second in the group of Borussia Dortmund, cheered on goals from German Cano (3rd) and Hercules (90th+3), who were successful at the beginning of the game and shortly before the end.
