Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal defeated 10-man Flamengo in a 3-2 goal thriller to reach the Club World Cup final in Morocco.

Al Dawsari opened the scoring from the spot after three minutes and while Pedro levelled for the Brazilian side, however, their hopes were hit when Gerson conceded a penalty and was sent off at the tail-end of the first-half.

The deficit, gave Al Dawsari an opportunity to get his second and Vietto added a third after the break.

The victory sees Al Hilal become the first Saudi side to reach the Club World Cup final and will face the winners of Real Madrid's semifinal against Al Ahly on Wednesday in Rabat.
