Although Chelsea opened the scoring with Pedro Neto's goal, Flamengo turned it around thanks to goals from Bruno Henrique Pinto, Danilo, and Wallace Yan, securing victory after closing out their matchday two group stage match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with a final score of 3-1.
And the defeat of PSG still gives it a touch more of an appeal in case it was necessary,
which the truth is that it doesn't, but it's still one more point of interest.
They come from a season beating, they come at a time, even mentally, in which the players go down,
because it's logical and normal after such a hard season.
Saraujo, De Arrascaeta, Gerson, and we don't know if Gonzalo Plata as a false 9.
Dante, Palmer to one side, Pedro Neto on the other side, Lian Delap at the top.
Yes, a move that could also be...
The colours of the Mengao, who are going to try to sign this surprise today
and take the lead from Group D in a match that has already begun.
We already have football in Dazón.
Watch out, because again it seems that this Flamengo can catch Chelsea's back.
Very incisive, very vertical in these first minutes of the match.
The shot, in two halves, is going to catch it.
Roberson, Philippe, Luis Kaczmirski.
Yes, suffering from Chelsea at the moment, without finding their ball under pressure.
This time they've done it well, and by the way, watch out, they've already turned to Flamengo.
A good pass from Enzo for the Delat race.
He can shoot it, it's very tight.
He tried the shot, but Rossi, hard hand, sent it to the corner.
Chelsea have managed to turn to the Brazilian team.
From there, the transition has begun, and Flamengo have lacked force.
They've given up a lot of space.
The team was very open, very stretched, trying to put pressure on them.
Watch out, that touch is very good.
To the back of Chelsea's defence, where Gerson is running.
Gerson in front of Caicedo, let's see what the 8 does.
Gerson, watch out for the appearance for the death pass.
It wasn't precise there.
And the ball hit the net.
In this type of action, there's no offside here, because it's in their own field.
It's impossible for there to be an offside.
But how does De Arrascaeta read those arrivals to the area?
With what timing does he arrive?
It's the 10th game, and for now, the weight of the game is being carried by Filipe's team.
What a bad start, and watch out, because it can get complicated.
It's going with the yellow.
Ivan Barton, the Salvadoran, shows it to Caicedo.
But there's Trifulca.
But Chelsea manage to scare the ghosts away.
Watch out for that foul.
He can leave the ball to Neto.
Neto has the hand-to-hand.
Neto runs towards Rossi.
Neto!
Goal! Goal! Goal!
Chelsea's goal!
Goal!
Pedro Neto!
Two goals in two games.
In this case, taking advantage of a lethal mistake by Wesley for Flamengo.
The gift from the Brazilian side,
who gave Neto a ball,
in front of which he had no defence in front of him.
He just had to run.
Making fun of Rossi's hand-to-hand.
And scoring this 1-0-1.
Neto scores.
Chelsea score.
Flamengo 0-1 Chelsea.
A very serious mistake, because that ball...
...for Neto.
Flamengo are in danger.
Cucurella comes to the centre.
He passes the ball to Malo Gusto.
He's going to try his luck.
Watch out, because Rossi
hadn't just blocked that ball.
De Boca stayed with the leather.
Ball stopped for Jorjan de Arrascaeta.
Arrascaeta with the second.
Ball!
Under the line.
Under the crossbar.
He's managed to get Caldwell out.
It could have been a draw.
It was quick.
Exeel Brighton is still at risk.
He's still in danger for Robert Sánchez's goal.
Now, the Spaniard...
...attacks that ball.
There they have Caldwell, the hero.
Caicedo...
...changing the direction of the game...
...for Cucurella, who was on the opposite side.
Enzo protects the ball against Gerson.
He's going to go for the back of the net.
It's dropped.
The Salvadoran says there's nothing.
Chelsea were asking for a penalty.
Yes, Enzo was ready.
He turned very well.
Gerson has played it.
We'll see it well here.
He's played it...
...because the ball starts out and ends up inside.
But he was going for it.
Yes.
We have three in overtime.
While Guillermo Pacheco, the Mexican at the bar...
...was checking for a possible penalty.
But Danai...
He's been in the area long enough...
...and the absence of a pure nine...
...can also be seen in those side centres.
Pizarra's play.
Gerson for Pulgar.
Pulgar for Wesley.
Wesley can shoot.
Robert Sánchez.
That ball hit him a little.
The Brazilian on the side.
Ivan Barton, the expressive Salvadoran coach...
...who gives justice.
There's football again in Philadelphia.
He was trying to make it man-to-man...
...on the way out of Chelsea...
...but with a lot of ease, Chelsea...
Watch out, Gerson.
What a mistake, Gerson.
He can stop the shot.
Gerson, Gerson.
Goal.
That ball goes out.
And he hasn't played like...
...the one that cost Flamengo the goal.
A long ball.
Badly defended.
And...
...well, incredible...
...how little Gonzalo Plata has missed.
He was a little slow there.
It's true that it wasn't easy to get to that ball, of course.
But what a mistake again in a ball...
...in a direct ball.
Badly defended by Chelsea...
...reminding us of the mistakes...
...he made against Los Angeles.
And...
...he's never had problems in that sense.
Well, Palmer doesn't like...
...how planes smell.
So he'll keep taking it.
Well, watch out for that pass.
Plata goes.
Plata cuts it to shoot.
What a hand from Robert Sánchez.
Impressive, Robert's hand.
Impressive.
Chelsea again suffering...
...with a ball that goes to the right side...
...and goes to the center.
And Chelsea finds it very out of place.
Robert Sánchez's hand...
...seems to me to be one of the stops of the tournament.
Without a doubt.
It's...
...a bestiality of Plata...
...with his bad leg.
It's true that he misses.
He slips a little in the shot...
...but he gets a good shot.
Yes, yes.
What a stop.
Great stop by Sánchez.
That corner was cleared by...
...Palmer.
Luis Araujo picks up the ball again.
At the end, Sánchez is also a goalkeeper...
...who misses a little...
...because he's very big...
...but he's very elastic, very agile.
He has reflexes...
It's not easy for a two-meter goalkeeper...
...to do those stretches.
Watch out, ball to the area.
Robert Sánchez doesn't make it...
...and Flamengo's goal comes.
Goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal.
Enrique.
Lincoln Financial Field Stadium...
...which is a mess right now...
...because in the 60th minute...
...all the fans of the Mengao...
...the newly-included one, explode.
Bruno Enrique has gone out to kiss the saint...
...scores the 27th...
...re-matching that ball that was bouncing...
...and that no one cleared...
...and that in the 61st minute...
...this Flamengo has scored one...
...Chelsea one.
Well, the defensive problems of Chelsea reappear.
Look at another cross ball...
...from one side to the other...
...that he finds badly stopped.
He has had several and he has failed them...
...but it seems to me that he has been quite good...
...because he has been able to generate them.
Corner for Flamengo, Bruno Enrique...
...second for the goal of Flamengo.
Goal, goal, impressive comeback...
...of the team of Filipe Luis.
65th match...
...to a ball stopped where he was doing damage.
The Mengao has reached this second goal.
Goal by Danilo...
...goal by a veteran from Vietnam.
65th match...
...Flamengo 2-1 Chelsea.
Well, again...
...everything marked by...
...the lack of defensive security.
But there is still a lot left...
...because now the one who is forced to react...
...is Chelsea...
...who is not having a good time.
Red for Nico Jackson...
...red for that cross for the ex-Villarreal...
...three, Ivan Barton...
...that dispute...
...and it's clear red.
Wesley is looking for it in space...
...Wesley's cross...
...watch out, it's a bad clearance by Colville...
...Gerson's shot...
...Sanchez has it.
A criminal clearance by Levi Colville.
Yes.
Luckily for...
...the ex-Villarreal...
...Gerson missed that chance.
Now to Wesley...
...or one of the substitutes is going to be Wesley.
Palme goes...
...good cross, shot...
...over Enzo's crossbar.
He was looking for his second goal in the tournament...
...the Argentinian...
...who came there to finish quite alone...
...because I think he lost a little thumb...
...in the reference...
...of the marking.
And Permutas also in Chelsea...
...who takes off the field...
...Palmer and Enzo...
...I mean...
...I think it's logical...
...it's a bit what we were...
...a lot of dust inside Kew and Madueke.
...just what we were suggesting...
...because Enzo was a bit...
...thrown to the right...
...to make that 4-4-1...
...and I guess Madueke is going to be there...
...and then a Palmer goes...
...who has contributed very little...
...and that in this context...
...as a 9 it was going to cost him as well...
...and a pure 9 comes in...
...as is Marc Kew...
...the very young player...
...of the Barça quarry...
...who seems to me a player...
...with immense potential...
...and who is going to have minutes...
...to show it...
...and now he does have a 9...
...now yes...
...at least Chelsea can think...
...about a long ball.
Flamengo's coach is a bit more effusive...
...because he has been able to score...
...the goal of the sentence...
...almost in the first...
...that Wallace has already touched...
...in the newly incorporated...
...he has found a dead ball...
...and that unappealable...
...header for Sánchez...
...83rd match...
...and Flamengo...
...let's see who is in charge...
...of the shot...
...hit...
...it went to Barreiro...
...it was a loose ball...
...Rossi came out well...
...because he had the option...
...of that shot...
...a bad idea the execution...
...because in the end...
...when the ball is so close...
...it is difficult to overcome the barrier...
...it goes in a Valdosa of the first...
...then he gave up...
...towards the 11 of Chelsea...
...that I don't know if he will have time...
...for much more...
...indeed he couldn't turn...
...the match ended...
...the greeting between Maresca...
...and Filipe Luis...
