The first half comes to an end with Flamengo in control and holding a 1-0 advantage. The Brazilian side have dominated possession and dictated the tempo, breaking through from a set piece, while Pyramids have stayed compact and relied on defensive organization and counterattacks to stay within reach.

The fourth official signals two additional minutes at the end of the half. Flamengo look to manage the closing moments with possession, while Pyramids remain alert, hoping to create one last chance before the break.

Pyramids FC finally generate their first moment of danger. Ahmed Atef sends a dangerous cross into the box looking for Fiston Mayele, but the striker is unable to make clean contact and the chance goes begging.

Ahmed Atef draws a foul after being brought down by Everton, briefly stopping play. The match quickly returns to the same rhythm, with Flamengo dominating possession and dictating the tempo, while Pyramids stay in a deep defensive setup, looking to steal a counterattack and using minor fouls to disrupt Flamengo’s build-up.

The match is briefly halted due to an injury to Mahmoud Marei of Pyramids, but there is no serious concern. After receiving treatment on the field, he is able to continue, and play resumes without further issues as Flamengo maintain their lead.

Even with the advantage on the scoreboard, Flamengo keep their foot on the gas. They continue to control possession and dictate the pace, looking to stretch the lead rather than sit back, while Pyramids remain pinned deep and struggling to regain momentum.

Flamengo finally break through from a free kick. Giorgian De Arrascaeta delivers a pinpoint cross into the box, and Leo Pereira rises above the defense to power home a classy header. The Brazilian side make their dominance count and take a deserved 1-0 lead.

The match becomes increasingly stop-start due to a series of tactical fouls that break the flow of possession. Flamengo are repeatedly halted as Pyramids’ midfielders step in to interrupt passing lanes and slow the tempo, turning the game into a physical battle rather than a fluid contest.

There is little change in the flow of the match. Flamengo continue to control possession and patiently try to break down the compact defense set by Pyramids FC, but clear chances remain scarce. Despite their territorial dominance, Flamengo have yet to seriously trouble the opposition or force the issue in the final third.

Flamengo earn a golden opportunity from a free kick after a foul won by Jorge Carrascal. The set piece is poorly executed, with the initial effort sailing high and straight down the middle of the goal. Moments later, Danilo gets on the end of a cross from Giorgian De Arrascaeta, but his header is deflected and fails to trouble the goalkeeper.

The game continues in the same rhythm. Flamengo are creating dangerous attacking sequences and spending long stretches in the opposing half, but they have yet to turn that dominance into real damage. Pyramids remain organized defensively, holding their shape and limiting clear chances despite the sustained pressure.

The match opens with a clear tactical picture. Pyramids are sitting deep in a compact defensive block, looking to absorb pressure and strike on the counterattack. Flamengo are controlling possession, dictating the tempo, and pinning Pyramids back with their collective passing and movement as they try to impose their game early on.

The ball is rolling at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium as Flamengo and Pyramids FC kick off this decisive FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2025 showdown. With a place in the final on the line, both teams are already pushing the tempo early as the action gets underway in Qatar.
