With a great right-footed shot from Jorge Sánchez, Cruz Azul ties the game in Qatar in the 44th minute of the Intercontinental Cup, corresponding to the second round. Let's remember that the Mexican team qualified for this tournament after winning the CONCACAF Champions 2025. Flamengo attends as the reigning champion of the 2025 LIBERTADORES Cup after defeating Palmeiras.

They have never faced each other in official tournaments

This means it will be the first official match between these teams. Both the Mexicans and the Cariocas are playing for more than just pride in Qatar. A very rough (or intense) encounter is expected in the second half.
