Brazil face Haiti at venue where Flamengo made Club World Cup history; why | OneFootball

Has Flamengo already played a match at Lincoln Financial Field?

The Brazilian National Team takes the field this Friday (19) when it faces Haiti in the second round of the World Cup. On that occasion, the teams will face off at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The stadium is also familiar to three Flamengo players available for Brazil: Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira and Danilo.

That’s because during the Club World Cup, Flamengo played two matches at Lincoln Financial Field. In the opener against Esperánce (TUN), the Rubro-Negro won 2-0, with goals from Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo. However, Fla’s most memorable match at the stadium came in the second round.

On that occasion, Flamengo faced Chelsea (ENG) and, after falling behind to a goal by Pedro Neto in the 13th minute of the first half, pulled off a spectacular comeback. With two goals in three minutes, Bruno Henrique and Danilo put Mengão ahead on the scoreboard, and Wallace Yan ‘put the final nail in the coffin’ of the English team.

How did Flamengo’s Club World Cup campaign go?

After winning its first two matches, Flamengo drew 1-1 with LA FC (USA) and advanced as the Group D leader. In the round of 16, however, the Rubro-Negro faced Bayern Munich (GER) and ended up losing 4-2, bowing out of the world tournament.

Wasn’t Lucas Paquetá available for Flamengo?

It is worth noting that at the time, Lucas Paquetá was still a West Ham (ENG) player. The midfielder was announced as a Flamengo signing in January this year, becoming the most expensive signing in the club’s history.

Are all Flamengo players available to Ancelotti?

All four Flamengo players called up by Carlo Ancelotti are available to the Brazilian National Team to face Haiti. Therefore, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro could take the field with a ‘special feeling’ as they remember the wins achieved at Lincoln Financial Field.

What are the details of the Brazil vs Haiti match?

The match between Brazil and Haiti will take place at 9:30 PM Brasília time this Friday (19), in the second round of the World Cup group stage. In addition, the ball will roll at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Brazil and Haiti through its website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV), GE TV (YouTube), Cazé TV (YouTube) and SBT (free-to-air TV) will broadcast the Brazilian National Team’s debut.
