The turning point came in the second half when Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, on his birthday, received a straight red card just four minutes after coming on—his second sending-off in six weeks. The dismissal proved costly as Flamengo took full control of the match.
Following the result, Flamengo made their statement off the pitch as well, responding to a pre-match post from Chelsea that read, “The lion’s always king,” with a pointed message: “When the lion dies, the vultures become king.”
