It's finally here! Flamengo finally took to the field on Monday night for their debut in the FIFA Club World Cup . With the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia packed with red-and-black fans, the team led by Filipe Luís began their journey in the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Espérance from Tunisia, and tied with Chelsea, the team's next opponent with 3 points.


SUMMARY


The first 45 minutes were dominated by Flamengo. The technical difference between the teams translated into an imposition by the red-and-black team, which did not need a very fast pace to score. In the 16th minute, Luiz Araújo gave a great pass to Arrascaeta after a cross from Varela, and the Uruguayan finished first to open the scoring.


Soon after, Gerson had the chance to extend the lead with a rebound inside the box, in the 18th minute. With the partial victory, Flamengo reduced the intensity after 30 minutes , but Rossi was a mere spectator in the first half. Espérance showed great difficulty in connecting plays in the attacking field and practically did not threaten.

In the second half, Fla entered differently, with lower intensity and this made the Tunisian club enjoy the game more , but nothing that caused any problems for the defense or goalkeeper Rossi. Gonzalo Plata also ended up returning to Filipe Luís' options , after more than a month injured. Even playing a second half well below par, making mistakes in passes, Fla scored the second goal with Luís Araújo and left with the victory at Lincoln Financial Park, that is, they did what was expected.


AND NOW?

With the victory, Flamengo is in first place in group D, with the same 3 points as Chelsea , but in the card criteria, the red-black team has the advantage. In this sense, the English team itself is the next opponent of Filipe Luís' team. The match will take place next Friday, at 3 pm, again at Lincoln Financial Field.

Real Madrid had a spectacular performance from Kylian Mbappé and thrashed Kairat, from Kazakhstan, 5-0, this Tuesday (30), in the second round of the Champions League group stage, in Almaty. The Frenchman scored a hat-trick, reaching five goals in the competition and taking over the Champions League's top scorer.


Besides the Frenchman, Camavinga and Brahim also found the net, completing the Spanish team's thrashing. With the victory, Real Madrid now has six points from two rounds , provisionally taking the lead in the group, while Kairat remains pointless and sits last.


VINI JR. CAPTAIN


Vini Jr. started the match as Real Madrid's Champions League captain, but had a lackluster performance and missed a clear chance in the first half. The Brazilian gave way to Rodrygo midway through the second half , while Mbappé led the attack.

The Frenchman not only scored three goals, but also produced some impressive plays, including a flick and a backheel pass that almost resulted in a goal for Vini Jr. With Tuesday's three goals, Mbappé reached the 60-goal mark in Champions League history, becoming the competition's sixth-highest scorer.


AND FLAMENGO?

Flamengo's next match will be this Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm, at Maracanã, against Cruzeiro . The match, valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão Betano, is considered decisive as it pits the top two teams in the table against each other.
