Flamengo takes on Bayern in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup
Bayern Munich lost to Benfica 1-0 on Tuesday (24) and will be Flamengo’s opponent in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup . Defeated for the first time in history by the Portuguese team, the German club is in second place in Group C and will face Mengão on Sunday (29).
Coach Vincent Kompany decided to rest eight starters compared to the team that faced Boca Juniors. The result was a first half dominated by Benfica, who went into the break leading with a goal from Andreas Schjelderup. The changes at half-time improved the German team, who had a goal disallowed and wasted chances, but it was not enough to even draw level.
This result puts Benfica in first place in Group B, with the winner of the duel between Chelsea and Espérance as their opponent. Bayern Munich finishes in second place and will face Flamengo, who qualified in first place in Group D.
Flamengo vs Bayern in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup
Flamengo vs Bayern Munich will take place on Sunday (29), at 5 pm (Brasília time), at Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami. The confrontation is naturally considered the most difficult among Fla’s options, which could face Boca Juniors or Benfica, but the speech at Rubro-Negro was of confidence for any opponent.
Mengão will still have to play to complete Group D. This Tuesday, at 10pm (Brasília time), Flamengo will face Los Angeles FC with a likely mixed team. The match will be in Orlando, and the expectation is that there will be a large presence of red-blacks.
