TANGIER (Morocco): Al Hilal stunned Flamengo as they held on for a 3-2 win on Tuesday to book their place in FIFA Club World Cup final.
The tournament has often been dominated by the best Europe and South American sides in recent years, and no Saudi Arabian side had ever previously made it to the final.
Two penalties from Salem Al Dawsari and a strike from Luciano Vietto sent Al Hilal on their way to a famous victory.
Hilal will potentially face Real Madrid in the final, with the Champions League holders in action against Egyptian side Al Ahly today.
Al Dawsari’s perfectly placed spot-kick gave Al Hilal the lead in the first minutes of the match after Matheuzinho tripped Vietto inside the box.
