Flamengo takes third place in the Club World Cup

After a tight game, Flamengo beat Al Ahly by 4-2 and won third place in the Club World Cup. The team took advantage of the controversial expulsion of lateral Khaled to recover and win the match, which seemed lost. The Rubro-Negro goals were scored by Gabigol and Pedro, twice each. Abdelkader made Al Ahly’s two.

Despite a promising start, Vitor Pereira’s team repeated mistakes from the semifinal, with defensive failures and little creativity in the attack. He opened the scoring, took the turn, but turned again after the controversial expulsion of the side of the Egyptian team. Flamengo leaves Morocco without the title and without a great performance.

After conceding the equalizing goal, Flamengo fans at Tangier Stadium sang in protest the song “we want respect and commitment, this is not Vasco, this is Flamengo”. With today’s two goals, Pedro became the top scorer in the World Cup, with four.
