European teams winning over South American teams in the FIFA Club World Cup? Not at all!
Just a few hours after Botafogo's historic victory over PSG, Flamengo did its part this Friday (20). With a "olé" in the additions.
It fell behind, but sought the 3-1 win over Chelsea in front of 54,019 people at Lincoln Financial Field, in Philadelphia.
And it was in great condition to advance first to the round of 16.
Now there are two South American triumphs and three draws in this "duel apart".
The 'punish ball', Flamengo...
Filipe Luís' time knew the importance of having "zero error" against a good level rival.
It had a positive start and controlled the actions.
Until it "didn't help itself" and saw Pedro Neto open the scoring (13').
With the need to seek more of the rival area, Flamengo did not change its posture.
However, it lacked being more aggressive and objective when it was close to the opponent's goal.
The great opportunity of the 1st half came just moments before the interval, with Gerson.
The lethal Chelsea - with 37% possession - had the aforementioned Pedro Neto as a highlight. Palmer hardly appeared.
Emotion on both sides 🥵
A good exit from Rossi guaranteed the first red-black chance in the final stage.
Gerson tried and Plata couldn't keep up.
The sequence had Léo Pereira making the red-black crowd GELAR with a retreat.
BH27 thought it was a classic carioca ❓
Bruno Henrique was Filipe Luís' first option. And didn't take long to make a difference.
The goal pursued by the Red-Black came at 16', with the number 27 shirt completing the good investment initiated by Gerson.
And the turnaround didn't take long to materialize. New participation of the attacker, another ball passing through the Blues' area, and Danilo's goal (19').
Nicolas Jackson 'protagonist' 🟥
Nicolas Jackson, who was left out after being a starter in the opening round, entered along with Lavia before the red-black turnaround.
And he was only four minutes on the field after a hard entry on Ayrton Lucas.
⭐ Does he have a star?
Filipe Luís' new bet was Wallace Yan.
Who only needed one minute on the field to expand with a dose of luck, but a lot of competence (37').
The Chelsea even tried. Without success.
And the Fla - which was better even behind on the scoreboard - guaranteed a deserved victory.
📊 Table and schedule 📅
Leader Flamengo went to six points in Group D. Left Chelsea with three.
Zeroed in the table, Los Angeles FC and Esperánce will face each other still this Friday, but from 19h (from Brasília).
The final round will be next Tuesday (24) and from 22h (from Brasília).
Flamengo will have LA FC in front in the Camping World Stadium, Orlando.
