Fluminense's coach said before Friday's Club World Cup quarterfinal that 'soccer is decided on the pitch,' not via bank balance. Then they defeated superrich Al Hilal to cruise into the final four.

Brazilian side Fluminense booked their semi-final place at the Fifa Club World Cup with a victory over Saudi club Al-Hilal. Flu will face Chelsea on Tuesday (20:00 BST) in New Jersey. Matheus Martinelli gave them the lead with a wonderful finish into the top corner from 16 yards out from Gabriel Fuentes' pass.

Martinelli put Fluminense in front in the 40th minute with a brilliant strike. His first touch took Gabriel Fuentes’s pass beyond a charging Al Hilal defender, and his second unleashed a ferocious left-footed shot that beat goalkeeper Yassine Bounou to the top right corner from about 15 yards (14 metres).
