3-1! Another 1 super unpopular in the Club World Cup: They won all 2 games and reached the top, Chelsea was beaten

The second round of the 2025 Club World Cup group stage continued. On this match, Premier League giant Chelsea played again, ushering in the Brazilian League giant Flamenco. 3-1, Flamenco overturned Chelsea in an upset, won all two games and topped the list, only one step away from the top 16.

The Club World Cup has started, South American teams have performed well overall. Palmeiras is ranked first in Group A, and Botafogo even knocked down the Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain. Flamengo is not to be outdone and easily defeated Tunisia 2-0 in the first game.

Chelsea also won the first game, but the team's stars were collectively sluggish. Maresca boldly changed the team's 343 team, new player Drapp started for the first time, forming a forward trident with Palmer and Neto, Enzo and Kessedo, two billion-dollar men in the midfield, and James led the three-center-back system. After the start of the game, Chelsea was a little slow to warm up, especially Sanchez made two consecutive pass mistakes, which almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, De Alasketa's long-range shot did not translate into a goal.

In the 6th minute, Chelsea ushered in a good opportunity to score. Enzo passed the scalpel directly to lead a quick counterattack. Drapp entered the penalty area at high speed, and the shot from a small angle was saved by Rossi. In the 12th minute, Kesedo intercepted Joginho fiercely, and the latter seemed quite painful. The two teams had a small-scale conflict and the referee showed a yellow card to the former to calm the dispute.

1 minute later, a magical plot appeared on the court. Wesley made a mistake in the backcourt clearance, Neto dribbled the ball and drove straight in, calmly pushed and shot in front of the goal, and the Blues unexpectedly took the lead, 1-0! In two consecutive rounds of group stages, Neto broke the deadlock for Chelsea, which is a key man.

However, Maresca changed to a 343 formation, which seriously restricted Palmer's performance. The Blues 10, which is worth 120 million, is almost invisible. In addition, the frontcourt running is not active enough, so it is difficult to tear the opponent's defense. Chelsea have few ways to fight on the position, and they can only create threats through long-range shooting.

In the 28th minute, Gusto suddenly made a cold arrow 20 meters away from the goal. The ball bounced in front of the goal, caught Rossi off guard. Flamengo goalkeeper saved the game, but Drapp was not prepared enough and did not start in time, wasting the opportunity to make a follow-up shot.

In the 44th minute, Flamengo almost equalized the score, De Alasketa sent a set piece to the back point, Danilo volleyed at the end of the air at a small angle, and Sanchez had no choice. Fortunately, Colewell appeared in time and headed the ball in front of the goal line to clear the ball.

Injury stoppage time, Enzo forced a breakthrough from the left and fell into the penalty area. The Argentine spread his hands and asked for a penalty kick, but the referee thought it was a normal physical confrontation and did not express any statement. In the first half, Chelsea's possession rate was less than 40%, and their overall performance was not good.

The side changes again. In the 54th minute, James made a mistake in stopping the ball in the backcourt. Gerson intercepted the ball and entered the penalty area, shook the angle and pushed the shot and missed it. Plata inserted the ball and missed it, and Chelsea escaped.

In the 62nd minute, Gerson cut inside from the right and made a cross, Plata headed the ball behind, Bruno Enrique scored a pass and shot, Flamengo equalized the score, 1-1! In the 65th minute, Flamengo continued to work hard, Gerson took a corner kick, Bruno Enrique headed a second pass without a mark, and Danilo volleyed into the net. In just 3 minutes, Chelsea conceded 2 goals in a row, and Flamenco took the lead 2-1.

conceded the ball continuously, and Chelsea was in chaos. In the 68th minute, Jackson was so angry that he violently stepped on his opponent's calf. He was sent off by the Red after 4 minutes of the game. The remaining 10 players of the Blues responded.

In the 76th minute, Colville made a mistake in the backcourt to give a gift, and Bruno Enrique shot from close range. Fortunately, Sanchez bravely resolved it. In the 83rd minute, Flamengo played with smooth cooperation, Plata made a goal in the penalty area, and Wallace Young shot and locked in the victory, 3-1!

Although Flamenco is not a weak team, it is obviously unpopular to be able to defeat Chelsea, which has a net worth of up to 1.06 billion euros. No one expected that the Club World Cup would completely become the stage for South American teams. Flamenco topped the list after two consecutive victories. As long as he scored 1 point against Los Angeles FC in the last round, he could ensure his promotion.
