Fluminense reached the Club World Cup quarterfinals with a stunning 2-0 win over Inter Milan as German Cano's early goal and Hercules' stoppage-time strike toppled the Champions League runners-up on Monday. The Brazilians struck after three minutes when Cano pounced on a deflected cross and headed in from close range, putting the ball through goalkeeper Yann Sommer's legs for a dream start. Stefan de Vrij missed a close-range chance, keeper Fábio denied Sebastiano Esposito with his feet and Lautaro Martínez struck the post. As the match was winding down Fluminense players jumped up and down on the sideline. Fluminense are the second Brazilian club to reach the quarterfinals after Palmeiras advanced with a win over another team from Brazil's Serie A in Botafogo.
