Marcos Leonardo settled an instant classic to give Al Hilal victory over Manchester City in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Simone Inzaghi’s side will return to Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Friday to fight Fluminense FC for a semi-final spot. Bernardo Silva stabbed home a loose ball to give City an early advantage, and only an excellent save from the grounded Yassine Bounou denied Savinho making it two. If the first half was entertaining, the first 12 minutes of the second were insane.

Quick-fire goals from Marcos Leonardo and Malcom catapulted Al Hilal into the lead, before Erling Haaland equalised from a corner. The referee immediately pointed to the spot after Malcom beat Ruben Dias and was tripped, only for the decision to be reversed due to offside.

City incessantly assaulted the Al Hilal goal for the remainder of the period, but Bounou produced several big saves and, when Haaland thought he’d snatched a late winner, Ali Lajami heroically hooked it off the line. Al Hilal went ahead again at the start of extra time,

Kalidou Koulibaly heading home a Ruben Neves corner, but substitute Phil Foden restored parity with a cushioned finish. Penalties were looming, but when Ederson repelled Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s header, Marcos Leonardo was on hand to bundle the ball over the line and seal a seismic shock. (FIFA.COM)
