MIAMI - Fluminense completed a full Brazilian contingent in the Club World Cup round of 16 after a goalless draw with Mamelodi Sundowns secured their progression from Group F on June 25.

Despite being on the back foot for much of the match at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, Fluminense advanced after finishing second in the group with five points, two behind group winners Borussia Dortmund, who edged Ulsan HD 1-0.

The result set up a last-16 clash on June 30 in Charlotte, where Fluminense will face either River Plate, Inter Milan, or Monterrey.
