Egyptian side win 3-1 to set up semi-final with FluminenseManchester City will face Urawa Red Diamonds in last four
Karim Benzema missed a penalty as Al-Ittihad were knocked out of the Club World Cup by Egypt’s Al-Ahly, who cruised to a 3-1 victory in Jeddah.
Al-Ahly broke the deadlock in the 21st minute from the penalty spot after a handball by Al-Ittihad defender Hassan Kadesh. Left-back Ali Maaloul converted the penalty, but Al-Ittihad quickly earned their own spot kick for handball. Benzema failed to score, however, his kick brilliantly saved by Mohamed El Shenawy.
