21:41 BST - We're wrapping up the Tracker now, thank you for joining us!

21:38 BST - Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca admitted his side were second best against Flamengo.

"The six minutes changed the game," he told DAZN.

"Then it was complicated to get back into the game.

"Congratulations to them, they deserved it. We tried something new for the rest of this competition and next season.

And on Jackson's dismissal: "What do I think? It was a red card, nothing to say."

21:26 BST - Former Chelsea man was proud after picking up a deserved victory.

"For the game and how it was, we played good football and did really well on the pitch," he told DAZN.

"When we had to wait, we waited. When we had to press, we put them in trouble. We worked a lot on how we could hurt them, we believe in what we do and we push all together."

"We pushed in the first half, and it worked, so we knew we needed to do more in the second half, and that is what we did. We found the little spots that could hurt them."

21:17 BST - Flamengo boss Filipe Luis was chuffed to get one over his former club.

"I'm really happy," the Brazilian told DAZN.

"We believed that we would have chances, and I am really proud.

"Bruno (Henrique) is special. It doesn't matter if he plays one minute or 90, he always gives his heart."

21:08 BST - That result means Flamengo take control of their Club World Cup group, with Esperance Tunis facing LAFC later this evening:

20:47 BST - GOAL! It's game over as youngster Wallace Yan makes the most of a poor clearance to make it 3-1 to Flamengo.

20:31 BST - RED CARD! It's all going wrong for Chelsea.

Nicolas Jackson, who has only been on the pitch for a few minutes, leaves a nasty foot - studs up - onto his opponent to see a straight red card.

20:29 BST - GOAL! From a set piece, former Manchester City man Danilo finds himself in the same place to knock the ball home for a quick turnaround.

Players and staff are celebrating on the pitch like a cup final. It's 2-1 Flamengo.

20:26 BST - GOAL! It's been coming, and after a tidy knockdown by Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique finds himself with a tap-in to level the scores.

It's 1-1 and the Flamengo-heavy stadium is absolutely rocking.

20:08 BST - The second half is up and running.

19:55 BST - Chelsea are statistically looking likely to see this one out:

19:31 BST - Flamengo are seeing plenty of the ball by the half-hour mark, some 65 per cent of possession in fact, but Chelsea are looking lively on the counter.

19:14 BST - GOAL! Pedro Neto capitalises on some poor control to pounce on the ball, run from the halfway line and slot home past the keeper.

It's 1-0 to Chelsea.

19:05 BST - A couple of decent chances for both sides early on, including one from Liam Delap, who forces the keeper into a good save.

Nice to see the stands a bit more filled out for this one, although it's mostly waves and waves of Flamengo fans by the looks of it!

19:00 BST - We're underway at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

18:50 BST - Flamengo opened their CWC campaign with a 2-0 victory over Espérance de Tunis, and while that was a game they were widely expected to win, they come into this clash as heavy underdogs.

Chelsea cruised to a routine 2-0 victory over LAFC on matchday one and, like their opponents, the 2021 CWC winners have plenty of positive momentum behind them. 

Kick-off is around 10 minutes away - follow the live stats here.

18:45 BST - A fourth Club World Cup match has been hit by a weather suspension with Benfica's match against Auckland City in Orlando on Friday the latest to be disrupted.

The Portuguese side were leading 1-0 through Angel Di Maria's penalty when the match was suspended at half-time because of adverse conditions.

18:13 BST - Former Chelsea star and current Flamengo manager Filipe Luis vowed on Thursday that his team will remain faithful to their "fierce, relentless style" as they prepare to face the London club in a highly anticipated Club World Cup encounter.

"Never give up on your convictions. I have a conviction, a very clear idea of what I think about the game," he told reporters.

"I would never, ever change my team because of an opponent. It would be completely and absolutely wrong for the players. We will play the way we have been preparing for eight months."
