ORLANDO, United States: Premier League giants Manchester City, one of the favourites to win the Club World Cup, suffered an upset when they were beaten 4-3 after extra time by Saudi club Al-Hilal and eliminated after a hugely entertaining encounter on Monday.
The game finished 2-2 at full-time but at the end of an eventful extra-time Marcos Leonardo grabbed the winner and secured one of the biggest wins in Middle Eastern football history.
The Saudi club advance to the quarter-finals where they will face Brazilian club Fluminense, ensuring a non-European team will reach the last four.
