ORLANDO, Florida - Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal stunned Manchester City 4-3 in extra-time in Orlando on Monday to pull off one of the shocks of the Club World Cup and set up a quarter-final against Brazil's Fluminense.

Marcos Leonardo scored his second of the night in the 113th minute as Simone Inzaghi's side saw off the Premier League club, who had taken a ninth minute lead through Bernardo Silva.

Quick-fire goals from Leonardo and Malcom in six minutes immediately after the restart put Al-Hilal in front before Erling Haaland equalised for City in the 55th minute.

Four minutes into extra-time, Kalidou Koulibaly headed in Ruben Neves' corner to put the big-spending Riyadh-based club back in front and while Phil Foden levelled again for City, Leonardo netted with seven minutes left to take Al-Hilal through. REUTERS
