Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal knocked Manchester City out of the FIFA Club World Cup with a 4-3 extra-time victory in Orlando late Monday, delivering one of the competition’s biggest upsets and ending the English champions’ campaign at the round-of-16 stage. City struck first through Bernardo Silva in the ninth minute, but the match turned after the interval. Brazilian forward Marcos Leonardo headed Al Hilal level seconds into the second half and Malcom put the Riyadh side 2-1 ahead six minutes later. Erling Haaland restored parity in the 55th minute, sending the game to extra time at 2-2. The seesaw continued when Kalidou Koulibaly nodded in a Ruben Neves corner four minutes into extra time, only for Phil Foden to equalise with a volley. Leonardo then pounced on a rebound in the 112th minute to complete his brace and seal the Saudis’ 4-3 win. Al Hilal advance to a quarter-final against Brazil’s Fluminense on 4 July, becoming the first Saudi club to eliminate a European side in the tournament. The result intensifies scrutiny on Pep Guardiola’s squad, which had been among the title favourites. Saudi and Brazilian media reported that Al Hilal’s owners rewarded each player with a post-match bonus estimated at up to €5 million, highlighting the financial firepower surrounding the expanded 32-team event. Separately, Real Madrid informed its squad it would pay €1 million per player if they lift the trophy, underscoring the escalating stakes of the new-format Club World Cup.
