Birthdays chaotic Nicolas Jackson, rewarded with a red card, Chelsea finally lost

Gilabola.com -Nicolas Jackson underwent his 24th birthday in a way he did not expect. Playing under the hot Sun Philadelphia, the Chelsea striker only lasted four minutes on the field after entering as a substitute.

He received a red card due to a strong violation of Flamengo player, Ayrton Lucas, who was in a 3-1 defeat from the Brazilian team.

The incident was part of the six minutes full of chaos for Chelsea. Flamengo, who was previously left behind 1-0, managed to equalize, turned around, and finally excelled before Jackson left the field earlier.

Marc Cucurella revealed that Jackson felt very sad after the incident. He said that his teammate did intend to seize the ball, but his apes precisely hit the opponent’s feet.

He also considered that Jackson was a talented young player who needed to improve attitudes in this kind of situation. After listening to the direction of the coach, continued Cucurella, Jackson also conveyed an apology to the team.

The Spanish international defender added that Jackson’s absence in the next match where they would face Es Tunis will be felt, but this is football.

Chelsea coach, Enzo Marsca, chose not much commenting. He only stressed that the incident was indeed worthy of a red card. According to him, Flamengo deserves to win in the soccer match.

Chelsea Trapped in Chaos

The match actually started well for Chelsea. Pedro Neto scored in the 13th minute, running between two Flamengo defenders, Wesley and Danilo, before firing the shot past goalkeeper Augustin Rossi.

Unfortunately, the initial dominance they could not maintain. Flamengo slowly took control, especially in the second half when the stadium temperature increased and made the soccer match more intense.

Gonzalo Plata failed to score easy goals, but then paid his mistakes by giving an assist to Bruno Henrique who equated the score in the 62nd minute. Only three minutes later, Danilo managed to take advantage of the situation of the dead ball and reversed the situation to 2-1.

Chaos increasingly became after Jackson in red cards. Chelsea lost control, and Wallace Yan used the situation to score the third goal for Flamengo.

The Chelsea defense looks shaky, and the supporters who were present at the Lincoln Financial Field, totaling more than 54 thousand people, witnessed how the London team lost his direction.

This defeat added pressure to Marsca, who now must win the last match against the Tunis club in order to qualify for the knock-out phase. Meanwhile, Jackson’s absence added to the list of problems that must be solved in the Chelsea squad in this prestigious event.
