Flamengo qualify for Club World Cup final

Brazil’s Flamengo came from behind to beat Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal 3-1 and reach the Club World Cup final.

Salem Al Dawsari gave underdogs Al Hilal the lead in the 18th minute before Uruguay’s Giorgian de Arrascaeta equalised just after the break.

Bruno Henrique headed the Copa Libertadores winners ahead and then turned provider as Ali Albulayhi inadvertently turned into his own net.

They will face Liverpool or Monterrey in the final on Saturday (17:30 GMT).
