The victory of the 3-1 and the Sperty triumph over Los Angeles FC assured the Rio team the first place in Group D and the place in the round of 16 at the Club World Cup, being the first team to advance in the competition. With six points in two games, the Rio team can no longer be reached. Even though Chelsea or Sperance wins in the last round and equals the score, Flamengo already takes advantage of direct confrontation against both. The English and the Tunisians have three points, while Los Angeles FC, defeated in the first two matches, is eliminated.
The early classification gives coach Filipe Luís the opportunity to run the cast and save holders in the duel against Americans, Tuesday (24), at 22h (Brasília), at Camping World Stadium, in Orlando. Chelsea and Sperance, on the other hand, will face each other at the same time in Philadelphia in a direct confrontation for the second place of the group in the knockout.
