Al Hilal stunned Flamengo and now meet Real Madrid in the Club World Cup final. Liam Kelly has a best bet for the game.
Flamengo committed the cardinal sin of looking ahead to the next stage in their semi-final against Al Hilal.
Despite having an extra man for the second half, the Saudi side, who are sporting some familiar names in the world of football, should receive a good chunk of credit for the 3-2 win.
Odion Ighalo, Luciano Vietto, Salem Al-Dawsari, Moussa Marega and André Carrillo have all played at a solid level, so this Club World Cup final may not be a complete walk in the park for Real Madrid.
Kick-off time: 19:00 GMT, Saturday

Real dispatched of Egypt's Al Ahly with ease in the end, running up the 4-1 scoreline with late goals, but Al Hilal certainly appear more talented in the attacking third.
It's why AL HILAL to take 8+ TOTAL SHOTS makes appeal with Sky Bet.
At even-money, I'm willing to back Al Hilal to test Real Madrid a little more than Al Ahly on the defensive end.
Carlo Ancelotti's side are missing a couple of key players, most notably Karim Benzema, and looked a little suspect at the back than anticipated on Wednesday night.
Real Madrid's semi-final opponents registered 13 shots on goal. Al Hilal represent value for eight or more given they are a better side.
