Doha: CR Flamengo claimed their second consecutive title in Al Rayyan, lifting the FIFA Challenger Cup after an impressive 2-0 victory over Pyramids FC at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium yesterday.
With their second triumph in three days, the Rio giants also sealed a date in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup Qatar 2025 final against European champions Paris Saint-Germain at the same venue on Wednesday.
Filipe Luis-coached Flamengo dominated the African champions for most of the contest, scoring through headers from Leo Pereira in the 24th minute and Danilo in the 52nd.
Giorgian de Arrascaeta, who scored both goals in Flamengo’s 2-1 victory over Cruz Azul in Wednesday’s FIFA Derby of the Americas, delivered two clinical set pieces to create both goals.
