Flamengo overcome Chelsea, Bayern edge Boca Juniors in Club World Cup
Bruno Henrique, Danilo and Wallace Yan scored as Flamengo rallied for a 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup's Group D play on Friday at Philadelphia. Gonzalo Plata set up two goals for Flamengo, who secured their place in the knockout round. Chelsea takes on ES Tunis, 1-0 winners over LAFC, on Tuesday in Philadelphia, the winner moving onto the knockout phase. Flamengo will play LAFC on the same day in what is now a meaningless match in the Group D standings. Pedro Neto was the goal-scorer for Chelsea, who played a man down for the final 22 minutes of regulation and seven minutes of stoppage time due to a red card on Nicolas Jackson. Elsewhere, Michael Olise's 84th-minute goal was enough to give Bayern Munich a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors in Miami Gardens, as the reigning German champions clinched a spot in the knockout phase. Boca had levelled the match in the 66th minute on a goal from Miguel Merentiel after Kane gave Bayern a first-half lead. The German giants faced a much stiffer test than in their Group C opener, a 10-0 rout of semi-pro Auckland City. Boca Juniors still have a chance to advance, but they would need to rout Auckland City on Tuesday in Nashville, and have Benfica lose to Bayern the same day in Charlotte. In the other Group C encounter on Friday, Leandro Barreiro scored in the 76th and 78th minutes as Benfica pulled away to a 6-0 victory over Auckland City. Angel Di Maria converted twice from the penalty spot for his second and third goals of the tournament, once in stoppage time of each half. Vangelis Pavlidis and Renato Sanches added goals early in the second half. The Portuguese victors pressured until the end, knowing goal differential could determine who advances to the knockout phase.

Flamengo scores 3 second-half goals to stun Chelsea 3-1 at the Club World Cup
PHILADELPHIA: Danilo scored the go-ahead goal in the 65th minute and Flamengo scored three second-half goals to move atop its group at the Club World Cup with a 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Friday. Coupled with Esperance's 1-0 win against LAFC in the later group match, Flamengo became the first team in the field to advance to the knockout round. Flamengo's win also kept South American teams undefeated at the Club World Cup in nine matches. Pedro Neto gave Chelsea the early lead. The ball bounced off a Flamengo defender and Neto gained control, charging toward the goal before putting it away in the 13th minute. Flamengo drew even in the 62nd on Bruno Henrique's goal on a tap-in in front of the goal. Moments later, the Brazilian giants took the lead off a corner with Danilo's goal. Wallace Yan all but put the game out of reach for the Blues with a goal in the 83rd. The Blues, the 2021 Club World Cup winner, defeated LAFC 2-0 in their opening match in Atlanta. Flamengo downed Esperance 2-0 in its opener. Former Chelsea defender Filipe Luís currently coaches Flamengo, while former Chelsea midfielder Jorginho made his debut for Flamengo against Esperance.

The Blues currently sit below Flamengo in Group D and can still advance to the knockout round. The final matches will be played Tuesday with Chelsea facing Esperance in Philadelphia and Flamengo meeting LAFC in Orlando, Florida. Henrique was named the Man of the Match, and said the face that there was a large contingent of red-clad Flamengo fans among the 54,019 at Lincoln Financial Field wasn't lost on him or his teammates in the pivotal second half. 'I noticed that we had the advantage. We had the fans on our side,' Henrique said. 'And that's when we started to pressure.'

Flamengo give Chelsea the Blues, Bayern win again
Flamengo have overturned a first-half deficit to defeat Chelsea 3-1 in their Club World Cup clash, a result that gives the Brazilians pole position in Group D. Second-half goals from Bruno Henrique, Danilo and Wallace Yan secured the South American side their second consecutive win in the tournament. Pedro Neto's early strike had put Chelsea ahead but the Premier League side squandered several opportunities to extend their lead, allowing Flamengo to stage a stirring comeback. The Brazilians scored two goals in quick succession through Henrique and Danilo, in the 62nd and 65th minutes, which was followed by Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson being shown a straight red for a nasty studs-up challenge three minutes later. Flamengo wrapped up the victory with Yan's strike in the 83rd minute. The result leaves Chelsea second with three points while Esperance de Tunis and Los Angeles FC have yet to register a point, both sides having a game in hand. At the Hard Rock Stadium, Bayern Munich beat Boca Juniors 2-1, thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Michael Olisi to move to the top of Group C. Bayern reignited the flickering flame of European honours after battling through a tense, fiery showdown to storm into the last 16. Backed by a roaring sea of blue-and-yellow clad fans who turned the Hard Rock Stadium into a noisy outpost of their "Bombonera", Boca Juniors fought fiercely, but Bayern's resilience shone through in the closing stages. After Kane gave the German champions an early lead, Boca equalised through Miguel Merentiel, only for Olise to score a late winner. Boca, on one point, remain in contention as they face amateurs Auckland City in the last round of matches while Bayern take on Benfica, who are second after their 6-0 drubbing of Auckland City in Orlando. Ángel Di María and Leandro Barreiro each scored two goals to help Benfica in a game that was delayed at half-time because of thunder and lightning. Di María, who teamed with Lionel Messi to win the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, netted his first goal from the penalty spot deep into added at the end of the first half. His second, and the team's sixth, was again from the penalty spot and deep in added time at the end of the match. Auckland City exchanged counterattacks with the Portuguese powerhouse in the first half of the Group C match, but were still outshot 18-1. Vangelis Pavlidis made it 2-0 in the 53rd minute, Renato Sanches added a third a short time later and Barreiro then scored a pair of goals to increase the lead to 5-0. In Nashville, Youcef Belaïli scored in the 70th minute and goalkeeper Ben Said saved a penalty deep in second-half stoppage time as Esperance Tunis defeated Los Angeles FC 1-0. Referee Espen Eskas awarded a very late spot kick following a video review, ruling Khalil Guenichi had felled Marlon in the area. But Denis Bouanga drove his ensuing penalty kick into the dive of Said, the final salvo in a result that eliminated LAFC (0-2-0, 0 points) from tournament contention.
