Chelsea took to the field with new signing Liam Delap in attack. Supporting the English striker were Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez. The Blues started well and found the opening goal in the 13th minute thanks to Pedro Neto.
Neto stole the ball after a poor coordination mistake by the Flamengo defender. The Chelsea striker then drove the ball straight towards the Flamengo goal and finished to open the scoring. The English football representative maintained this advantage until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
In the second half, the match script reversed in just 5 minutes, from 62 to 68. In the 62nd minute, Bruno Henrique tapped the ball close to the goal after a header from his teammate, scoring the equalizer 1-1 for Flamengo. Three minutes later, Bruno Henrique continued to shine when he assisted Danilo to score, raising the score to 2-1.

In the 68th minute, Chelsea's hopes of finding an equalizer were dashed when substitute striker Nicolas Jackson received a straight red card after a rough tackle on Flamengo's Ayrton Lucas.
Playing with one less player, Chelsea were powerless to find an equalizer. Not only that, they also conceded a third goal in the 83rd minute. The scorer for Flamengo was Wallace Yan with an unstoppable close-range shot.
With the victory over Chelsea, Flamengo became the first team to qualify for the round of 16 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Chelsea need to face Espérance de Tunis in the final round.
