Flamengo dispatches Chelsea, clinches knockout round spot
Jun 21, 2025 01:36 AM IST Bruno Henrique, Danilo and Wallace Yan scored goals as Flamengo rallied for a 3-1 victory over Chelsea in Club World Cup Group D play on Friday afternoon at Philadelphia. HT Image Gonzalo Plata set up two goals for Flamengo (2-0-0, 6 points), who secured their place in the knockout round. Pedro Neto had a goal for Chelsea (1-1-0, 3 points). Chelsea 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. Flamengo trailed 1-0 before scoring twice in three-plus minutes of the second half to take the lead and later adding a third in the 83rd minute. Plata delivered a header bounce pass directly to the foot of Henrique, who knocked it in with his right foot in the 62nd minute. Three minutes later, a corner kick set up the second goal. Henrique headed the ball toward Danilo, who sent a close-range right-footed shot into the net. Flamengo took a two-goal lead in the 83rd minute when Plata fed Yan, who sent a right-footed shot into the goal. Earlier, the ball was loose in the midfield in the 13th minute when Neto came away with it and broke ahead. He got closer to the net and sent a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Augustin Rossi. In the 42nd minute, Chelsea's Liam Delap had an opportunity but his left-footed shot was blocked by a defender. Plata ripped a right-footed straightaway blast in the 61st minute but Chelsea goalie Robert Sanchez got his hand on it to knock it over the net. --Field Level Media

100 days from Ryder Cup, Keegan Bradley savoring journey
June 18 - U.S. captain Keegan Bradley said Wednesday that the only time he isn't thinking about September's Ryder Cup is when he is "inside the ropes Thursday through Sunday." With the start of the Ryder Cup now just 100 days away, Bradley fielded questions about the experience as he got ready to tee off in the Travelers Championship starting Thursday in Cromwell, Conn. "For the most part, I'm thinking only about the Ryder Cup," the first-time captain said. "I'm looking at the points list. I'm looking at potential pairings. I'm talking to the scouts. I'm talking to the vice captains. We're talking about strategy, bus ride schedules, media schedules." The 45th Ryder Cup competition against the defending champions from Team Europe runs from Sept. 26-28 at Bethpage Black on Long Island, N.Y. Bradley, 39, was serenaded with chants of "USA" from the fans on Sunday when he made his final putt of the U.S. Open, where he finished T33 at Oakmont Country Club. "Everywhere I go, I'm getting USA chants, people are cheering me on," he said. "... It's been something that I hadn't really expected, to be honest. It's taken me by surprise, and it's just a treat to go out there and play every day as the Ryder Cup captain." Bradley is still finalizing the roster, but it sure sounded like J.J. Spaun locked up a spot with his first major win on Sunday. "I think going to a course like Bethpage Black, the people are really going to be behind a guy like J.J. Spaun. His story is incredible. He's a hard working guy that's just building and building and building his whole career. To win the U.S. Open at Oakmont, in my eyes, is the pinnacle of major golf. It's as tough as you can get," Bradley said. "I think he's a guy that people at Bethpage will really resonate with and a guy that on our team is the heartbeat. He's now the U.S. Open champion. That's a heavy burden to bear, but he's also -- that's also a great thing to have on your team. "I'm really proud to have him on this team because it's really difficult to make your first team. To go out there the way he did this year and play in these big events this well is a testament to what a player he is." Bradley, who won the Travelers in 2023 and finished T39 last year, said the burden of his Ryder Cup responsibilities will temporarily disappear as he tackles the TPC River Highlands course this week for the PGA Tour season's final signature event. "I really have enjoyed every second of this," he said. "There's been no ... it hasn't affected me personally on the golf course, I don't think, but I really have enjoyed this so much." --Field Level Media
