Chelsea’s hopes to reach the World Cup knockouts at the club were kicked out of the uncontrolled side of Flamengo, who came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory in Philadelphia.
Despite taking the lead through Pedro Net in the first half, Enzo Mareska’s team suffered an explosion in the second half, recognizing three times and ending the game with ten men.
It was a chaotic and often undisciplined performance by Chelsea, which started light enough.
Pedro net capitalized to the happy Ricochet, besides the 15-minute brand, spraying clearly and assembling peacefully by Rossi to score his second goal in the tournament.
Despite progressing, Chelsea never took control. Flamengo built intensity and was unhappy not to catch up before the break.
Clearance of Levi Kolville’s goal and several smart Robert Sanchez’s smart stops kept the Premier League side ahead, but there was a feeling that they were driving their happiness.

In the second half, Flamengo threatened through live Gerson and Araujo, and they finally put their pressure in the 69th minute.
A liquid move saw the salary nodded with a deep cross back through the goal, allowing the replacement Bruno Henrike to lower the equalizer to the far post.
Chelsea barely had time to react before they were behind. Just four minutes later, the Flamengo corner caused chaos in the box. Henrike was again turned on, moving the ball back through the six yards of Danilo to stab him at home, causing wild celebrations among Brazilian fans.
Things went from bad at worse almost immediately. Nicholas Acksexon, brought at times earlier, was sent for a negligent challenge for studs, gathering a serious six-minute magic that Chelsea saw from leading to behind and one man down.
Flamengo continued to use Chelsea’s mess, and with eight minutes left on the clock, they sealed the victory. Twenty-year-old Wallace Jan, fresh from the bench, was linked to a salary in the box and though well-found with a ball on his feet after his teammate’s shot was shot.
Chelsea pressed a response at the time of stopping, with Maduke Lively on the bench and a few dangerous pieces upset Flamengo’s defense, but there was no way back.
