Flamengo vs Chelsea

On June 20, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Flamengo produced a stunning second-half comeback to defeat Chelsea 3–1 in a dramatic FIFA Club World Cup Group D clash. Chelsea took the early lead in the 13th minute when Pedro Neto capitalized on a defensive error by Flamengo’s Wesley, and the Premier League side looked in control for most of the first half.

However, the game completely shifted after the break. Flamengo emerged with renewed intensity, and in the 62nd minute, Bruno Henrique leveled the score with a composed finish following a setup by Gonzalo Plata. Just three minutes later, Danilo headed Flamengo in front from a well-placed corner, turning the tide firmly in favor of the Brazilian side.

The turning point came in the 68th minute when Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, who had just come off the bench and was celebrating his 24th birthday, was sent off for a reckless studs-up challenge on Ayrton Lucas. Down to ten men, Chelsea struggled to contain Flamengo’s surging momentum. In the 83rd minute, substitute Wallace Yan sealed the result by scoring on the rebound after another incisive run from Plata.

Flamengo’s pressing, fluid attack, and composure under pressure stood out in the second half, while Chelsea were undone by ill-discipline and lack of control after Jackson’s red card. With the win, Flamengo now top Group D with six points from two matches, while Chelsea sit second with three points and face a must-win final group game against Espérance de Tunis.
