Flamengo did not win the world championship for the second time on Wednesday (17). This is because PSG (FRA) defeated the Rubro-Negro in the penalties and lifted the intercontinental trophy. The goal for the French team was scored by Kvaratskhelia, while Jorginho found the net for the Most Beloved.
Goal for PSG! At nine minutes into the first half, the French team took the lead. Rossi kicked the ball hard and didn't return to the goal quickly. Fabian Ruiz then shot first-time and scored the first goal for the French team. 1-0.
DISALLOWED! When Rossi kicked to midfield, the ball had already gone out! Therefore, the VAR checked and disallowed the PSG goal. Thus, at eleven minutes into the first half, it remains 0-0 in Doha, Qatar.
In 20 minutes of play, PSG had four shots on Flamengo's goal. The Most Beloved, on the other hand, had three shots, one of which was dangerous with Erick Pulgar. However, the match remained 0-0.

End of the first half! Despite conceding a goal, Flamengo went on the attack against PSG. The Rubro-Negro team had at least three shots and two more corners, but the first half ended 1-0.
Flamengo returned for the second half without any changes. That is, Filipe Luís decided to keep the same lineup for the second half. PSG, like the Most Beloved, also made no changes at halftime.
The first change for Flamengo happened at ten minutes into the second half! Filipe Luís decided to take out Carrascal to bring in Pedro, who recovered from an injury and was available for the Most Beloved in the Club World Cup.
