Referee's key message that confirmed Flamengo's Club World Cup win | OneFootball

Referee confirmed Flamengo's second goal after ball chip technology

The Flamengo defeated Cruz Azul (MEX) this Wednesday (10) by 2-1 in Doha, advancing to the semifinals of the Intercontinental Cup. The second goal by the red-black team, scored by Arrascaeta, was confirmed using the referee's watch technology to verify that the ball crossed the line.

At 24 minutes into the second half, Arrascaeta was set up inside the box and shot for the goal. The Mexican defender tried to prevent it, but the ball, equipped with a chip, had already crossed the line. Thus, the goal was confirmed after the referee showed his watch to inform the players on the field.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

The Flamengo opened the scoring in the first half with Arrascaeta at 15 minutes. However, Cruz Azul equalized before the break, with Jorge Sánchez at 44′. Finally, the Uruguayan midfielder secured the win in the second half at 25′.

WILL IT BE IN THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT YEAR?

Thus, the technology that confirmed the Flamengo goal will be present in the next season of the Brazilian Championship. This is because the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) indicated that there will be investments to improve national football starting in 2026.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY AGAIN?

Now, Flamengo remains focused on the Intercontinental Cup. The red-black team will face Pyramids (EGI) on Saturday (13), at 2 PM (Brasília time), in Doha, in a match valid for the tournament's semifinal. As usual, Coluna do Fla provides all the information.
