Hercules came off the bench and scored in the 70th minute to lift Fluminense past Al Hilal 2-1 in a Club World Cup quarterfinal match on Friday.

Brazil's Fluminense continued their fairy-tale run at the Club World Cup with a 2-1 victory over Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal on Friday in Orlando, Florida, to book their place in the semi-finals. The tournament underdogs struck first through Matheus Martinelli in the opening half before Al-Hilal hit back after the break when Marcus Leonardo found the net.

And after a spell of attacks from both sides, Hércules emerged as the hero. The midfielder received a headed pass from Samuel Xavier and finished into the net, making it 2-1. Al-Hilal pressed in the final minutes, sending balls into the box, but Fluminense held on to secure qualification.
