Brazilian club Fluminense shocked Inter Milan with a 2-0 win to reach the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, where they will face Man City's conquerors Al-Hilal.
Striker German Cano's stooping header in the third minute put the Brazilian giants ahead early and substitute Hercules scored a curling edge-of-the-box shot against the run of play in a difficult last 25 minutes.
Inter's star forward Lautaro Martinez had a series of chances to equalise before the second goal, including one against the post late on, while Federico Dimarco also came close to scoring from two free-kicks and had a close-range shot from a wide angle.
But the best chance fell to Dutch defender Stefan de Vrij after Martinez's clever knockdown.
The match was played in front of a crowd of just 20,030 in the final match at the 74,867-capacity Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
Fluminese join fellow Brazilian club Palmeiras in the quarter-finals and will Al-Hilal in the Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Friday.
