FC Chelsea suffered a heartbreaking defeat in their battle for the Club World Cup crown. After an impressive 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC in their opening match, the Conference League champions fell 1-3 against Brazilian heavyweights CR Flamengo. With a slip-up in their final group game, Chelsea must step up to avoid elimination and possibly face Bayern Munich in the Round of 16.
As leaders of Group D, Chelsea will play Boca Juniors late Saturday night (3:00 AM CET/DAZN). If Bayern Munich finishes runner-up in Group C, they will square off against the winners of Chelsea's group match.
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson captured the headlines with a dramatic entrance and exit. Brought on in the 64th minute for Liam Delap, Jackson's red card came just four minutes later after a rough foul on Ayrton. The sending off swung the game decisively in Flamengo's favor, with Bruno Henrique and Danilo scoring just two minutes apart to overturn Pedro Neto's early goal. Wallace Yan added the final touch late in the game.
Lightning and Thunder Stop Play
Elsewhere, Benfica Lisbon managed a win over Auckland City after a grueling two-hour delay due to a lightning storm. The Argentine World Cup winner Ángel Di María led the charge despite their poor showing in the first half. Ex-Bochumer Evangelos Pavlidis had the best chance, only to hit the outside post, while goalkeeper Nathan Garrow made several spectacular saves. Benfica eventually scored a penalty in added time to secure the lead, and Pavlidis, Renato Sanches, Leandro Barreiro, and Di María again from the spot sealed the victory.
In their earlier game against Boca Juniors, Benfica had fought back from being 2-0 down to draw 2-2. They will face Bayern Munich in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday (9:00 PM/Sat1), while Auckland City will bid farewell to the tournament against Boca Juniors in Nashville, Tennessee, at the same time.
The 2025 Club World Cup continues to keep football fans on the edge of their seats, with potential showdowns looming for top clubs like Chelsea and Bayern Munich, depending on their performance in the early stages.
