[Inkriql]

Al Ain, the host team of the Club World Cup, surprised the African champion, Espérance de Tunis, in his stadium, who defeated 3-0 in the quarterfinals and will face River in the semifinals.

Mohamed Ahmad scored the fastest goal in the history of this tournament: at eighty seconds. Hussein Shahat made it 2-0 before the twenty minutes to the surprise of the African fans. In the second half, Bandar Al Ahbabi extended the scoring.

Al Ain follows in the footsteps of the host of the last World Cup: Al-Jazira, who also reached the semifinals a year ago and gave battle to Real Madrid, who could only defeat them by a short 2-1, achieving the goal of the victory by means of Gareth Bale already in minute 81.

His victory this Saturday was much quieter than Wednesday's preliminary round, where he was 3-0 against New Zealand's Wellington Team, before being able to equalize in the final stretch 3-3 to force overtime and then prevail in the penalty shootout.

The clash between the champion of the Libertadores and the local will be on Tuesday, again in Al Ain, while Espérance will have to play that same day in the duel for fifth place against Chivas de Guadalajara, who fell to Kashima Antlers .
