In an exhilarating encounter at the Club World Cup, Jorginho delivered a decisive goal in the 87th minute, securing Flamengo a 1-1 draw against Los Angeles FC. The match unfolded at Orlando's Camping World Stadium, drawing a significant crowd of 32,933, marking the highest attendance for the venue in this tournament.

Denis Bouanga initially put Los Angeles FC ahead in the 84th minute, scoring the team's sole goal of the event. However, it was Jorginho's late equalizer that ensured Flamengo topped Group D, one point clear of Chelsea, and advanced to the knockout rounds, despite Marlon's disallowed first-half goal due to an offside call.

Flamengo, buoyed by their group-stage success, now prepares to face Bayern Munich in Miami Gardens, Florida. Meanwhile, Los Angeles FC concludes their Club World Cup journey with an exit after two losses and a draw, reflecting on a campaign where victory slipped through their grasp.
