Match Events
- 0' CR Flamengo have kicked off against Chelsea FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.

- 10' Uruguay international Giorgian De Arrascaeta has been a key figure this campaign — 3 goals and 4 assists in the Array this season.
- 11' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Moises Caicedo on 11 minutes.

- 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Cucurella, as he is very good at scoring at Lincoln Financial Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 33' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Nicolas Jackson suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CR Flamengo that had 393 games and scored 619 goals.

- 45' It’s a booking for Chelsea FC player. Liam Delap gets a card.

- 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 56' The CR Flamengo bench stirs into life. Giorgian De Arrascaeta is withdrawn and Bruno Henrique gets his opportunity.
- 61' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 61 minutes.
- 62' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Bruno Henrique makes it 1-1.
- 64' Another substitution for Chelsea FC to replace Liam Delap by Nicolas Jackson on 64 minute.
- 65' Magnificent from Danilo! That is 13 goals in 444 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 68' Poor challenge from Nicolas Jackson. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 73' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both CR Flamengo and Chelsea FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 74' It’s gonna be a card for Gerson.
- 79' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 82' CR Flamengo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Guillermo Varela is hanging Wesley on the field on 82 minute.
- 83' Against the run of play, Yan has scored! This game has turned on its head.
