Hours before the start of the upcoming summit between the Saudi Crescent and the Brazilian Flomeini, in the quarter -finals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, attention is directed to a special kind of conflict between two of the most prominent championship guards: Moroccan Yassin Bono and the Brazilian Fabio Lopez, in a confrontation that might be resolved with confrontation or error of a difference.
Al Hilal trip to the quarter -finals
Al-Hilal succeeded in qualifying for the quarter-finals after its occupation and the eighth group behind Real Madrid, where it tied 1-1 with “the royal”, then he came out with a point from Salzburg, before settling his qualification by beating Pachuca with two clean goals. In the round of 16, the leader presented one of his most wonderful matches in history, by excluding Manchester City 4-3, after a marathon meeting that extended to the additional runs.
Fluminness .. from Dortmund to Inter
The Brazilian team, in turn, came as a runner -up for its group behind Borussia Dortmund, after a strong competition that included Sun Downs and Olsan Hyundai, before Inter Milan, the Champions League champion and runner -up, excluded a clean double in a major surprise, to reserve his seat in the quarter -finals.
Bono excels in numbers
Yassin Bono, Al Hilal goalkeeper, was one of the stars of the championship so far, where he played 4 full matches (390 minutes), and made a general evaluation of 7.4, with 24 tackles, including a decisive penalty kick, in addition to two games with clean nets, beating Fabio Lopez in the total mental and effective presence.
Fabio Lopez … quiet hardness
Although his numbers declined compared to Bono, Fabio Lopez (44 years old) kept his nets clean in 3 out of 4 games, and he appeared with great stability, especially in the face of Inter Milan, stressing that experience is made in the long run, and that calm is sometimes the strongest weapon in front of pressure.
Guard under a microscope
The digital comparison between the two guards highlights a difference in the nature of the defensive tests that each of them was subjected to.
Who resolves the qualification card?
The road to the semi -finals may not be drawn through the goals of the attackers, as much as it is decided with a touch of a guard, or a decisive reaction at ninety or after. The crescent is betting on the charisma Bono, and Flomeini is counting on the hardness of Fabio, and between them the features of qualification may be determined through one shot.
