Doha: Giorgian De Arrascaeta struck twice as CR Flamengo claimed the FIFA Derby of the Americas title with a 2-1 victory over Mexico's Cruz Azul at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium on Wednesday.
The Brazilian Copa Libertadores champions will now face Egypt’s Pyramids FC in the FIFA Challenger Cup on Saturday, with the winners earning a spot in the December 17 Intercontinental Cup Final against UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain at the same venue.
Flamengo's Uruguayan star De Arrascaeta opened the scoring in the 15th minute before sealing victory in the 71st after Jorge Sanchez had equalised for Cruz Azul in the 44th minute.
The match started cautiously, with Carlos Rotondi winning a free kick early, but the Concacaf Champions Cup winners struggled to create clear chances.
Rotondi’s first shot in the 13th minute went wide, and two minutes later Flamengo took the lead following a costly error by Gonzalo Piovi.
