Nicolas Jackson sees red as Chelsea falls in Club World Cup

In the 2025 Club World Cup match at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Nicolas Jackson became the center of attention as Chelsea suffered a 1-3 defeat to Flamengo.

The Blues initially took the lead through Pedro Neto‘s goal in the 13th minute — but Flamengo turned the game around in the second half. Bruno Henrique equalized in the 62nd minute, followed by Danilo‘s goal three minutes later.

The situation worsened for Chelsea when Jackson — who had just come on as a substitute in the 64th minute — received a straight red card four minutes later. This referee decision forced The Blues to play with 10 men until the final whistle.
