The “blues” have big problems with flamengo, but still take the lead. But then the Brazilians turn up.
Chelsea FC played its second victory at the club World Cup in the USA. After the success of the Los Angeles FC (2-0), the Conference League winner lost 1: 3 (1-0) against CR Flamengo from Brazil on Friday and must not allow any further slip in the last group game. Bayern Munich could wait in the round of 16.
The second of Group D meets the winner of the Bayern Group C. The Vincent Kompany team plays against the Boca juniors on Saturday (3:00 a.m. CEST/DAZN). If the German record champions were second, he would meet the winner from Chelsea’s group D. Flamengo, trained by the former Brazilian international Filipe Luís, the winning leaders of the group D are already close to the winning final.
Chelsea’s striker Nicolas Jackson caused a stir with a short assignment. The Senegalese was substituted for Liam Delap in the 64th minute, less than four minutes later he saw the red card (68.) for a rough foul against Ayrton. The dismissal had the game finally overturned in the direction of Flamengo, previously Bruno Henrique (62nd) and Danilo (65th) had hit and thus shot the early tour of Pedro Neto (13th). Wallace Yan (83.) set the final point.
