Chelsea will play Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia in the Club World Cup semi-finals after Al Hilal recovered from behind to defeat Al Jazira 6-1 on Sunday.
Al Jazira took the lead through Abdoulay Diaby, but Al Hilal rallied with two goals from former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo and Matheus Pereira before halftime.
On 57 minutes, Mohamed Kanno headed in a corner to extend Al Hilal’s lead, and Salem Al Dawsari completed the scoring with a clinical finish at Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium.
Moussa Marega and Andre Carrillo completed a thumping win with late goals for Leonardo Jardim’s side, the record four-time Asian champions and 17-time Saudi league winners.
Al Hilal will take on European champions Chelsea at the same ground on Wednesday, 9 February (18:30 SA time) for a place in the Saturday, 12 February final (18:30).
