Club World Cup quarterfinals, Fruminense wins 2-1 against Yadh Crescent, Brazilian team leads to the semifinals

At three in the morning of this sunny summer day, the FIFA World Club Cup ushered in a super showdown - the team battle between Fruminense and Riyadh Crescent. The venue was selected at the picturesque Orlando Camping World Stadium, where the audience seats can accommodate 65,000 enthusiastic fans, as if every seat was cheering for the team. Since its opening in 1936, this stadium has been renovated countless times. It is like a fashionable trendsetter who is always at the forefront of the trend. The recent investment of 200 million US dollars is like changing it with a new dress. 90% of the facilities are completely renewed, and the atmosphere of the game is so hot that it can melt the ice cream!

Having said that, Fruminense played quite steadily this season. They are ranked sixth in the Brazilian League and are as stable as Mount Tai, with both offense and defense seemingly at ease. The Riyadh Crescent opposite is another landscape, ranking second in the Saudi league. They are full of firepower and seem to be cheating when attacking, but sometimes defense is like walking a tightrope, a bit unstable. Before this game, the two teams had no record of confrontation. Is this destined to be the first battle between heroes?

It is worth mentioning that Riyadh Crescent defeated Brazil's thigh flamenco 3-2 in the semi-finals of the 2022 Club World Cup and finally won the runner-up. It seems that they also challenged Fruminense with some "talismans" this time. Fruminense "strikes" Serie A giants Inter Milan 2-0 in the 1/8 final, showing that they are not a light for fuel-efficient. Riyadh Crescent defeated Premier League overtime with a 4-3 counterattack, which made the onlookers shout, "No, no, can you win this?!" Before the game, the players observed a moment of silence for the Liverpool Jota brothers who died in a car accident. I believe everyone sheds tears for this sighing regret in their hearts.

As the whistle sounded, the game officially began. Both sides played more cautiously, as if they had a warm-up. The first shot was only 18 minutes later. Nonato of Fruminense tried to win with one blow in the counterattack, but ended up sending the ball to the stands. It seemed that the unlucky shooter had to ask God for advice.

After several rounds of back and forth, in the 40th minute, Riyadh Crescent's Cancelo made a mistake in the backcourt. Seeing Fruminense's Fuentes pass back with a back-end, Martinelli turned around like a naughty boy and made a world wave. The goal broke and Fruminense led 1-0! At this time, the atmosphere in the arena was like a ignited firework, exploded instantly! At this time, in the 46th minute of stoppage time in the first half, Neves made a cross from the right, but Javier accidentally "sorry" to put Leonardo down. The familiar VAR replay was like a cold water topping, and the referee actually canceled the penalty kick. The audience was feeling like a roller coaster, which was really tired.

In the 50th minute of the second half, Kulibali of Riyadh's crescent plunged into the penalty area like a Falcon, heading the ball with a strong header. Leonardo seized the opportunity and easily scored in the small penalty area. The score came 1-1. The two sides drew. The two teams were really back and forth, and they were in a stalemate.

But in the 70th minute of the game, Heckles, who came on as a substitute, became the MVP on the court. He shot in the penalty area and took the lead again, and Frumenense overtook 2-1 again! The fans of the carnival Fruminense were so excited that they were about to fly, as if this game had become their celebration party!

As time goes by, Riyadh Crescent frequently launched attacks, but God seems to be intentional about teasing the Saudi All-Star team, but ultimately failed to equalize the score. The whistle at the end of the game sounded, and Fruminense defeated Riyadh Crescent 2-1, successfully advanced to the semi-finals, and received a generous prize of 21 million US dollars, equivalent to about 150 million yuan. This big prize is simply envious! In this way, the chief seat of the semi-finals was won by them, and another Brazilian team, Palmeiras, will compete with Chelsea for another semi-finals in the next game. It seems that this game is undoubtedly a "passionate" struggle!
