Flamengo triumphed over Premier League side Chelsea on Friday 20 June 2025, in the Group Stage of the FIFA Club World Cup Group D, held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Flamengo came back from a first-half deficit to win 3-1 against Chelsea. The Brazilian team clinched the victory with second-half goals from Bruno Henrique, Danilo, and Wallace Yan, marking their second consecutive win in the tournament.

Chelsea initially took the lead with an early goal from Pedro Neto but missed several chances to increase their advantage, which allowed Flamengo to mount an impressive comeback.

As a result, Flamengo sits at the top of Group D with six points from two matches, while Chelsea holds the second position with three points.

Chelsea is set to face Esperance in their final group match on Tuesday.

Flamengo scored two quick goals through Henrique and Danilo in the 62nd and 65th minutes, respectively, shortly before Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson received a straight red card for a studs-up challenge just three minutes later.

Coached by former Chelsea defender Filipe Luís and featuring ex-Chelsea midfielder Jorginho, Flamengo sealed their victory with Yan’s goal in the 83rd minute.

This win marks the second occasion a South American team has defeated a European team by multiple goals in a FIFA international club competition.
