Corinthians and Flamengo will fight for the third place in the competition
Pars Jonoobi upset Flamengo to become first finalists of the Mundialito
FC Pars Jonoobi from Iran became the first finalists of the Mundialito de Clubes Beach Soccer 2017, following a solid win over Flamengo in the game opening Day 3 of the competition. The Persian side needed a 2-goal win to secure a berth in the decider, and this is what they got.
Flamengo, in turn, got to the game with the best panorama, as any kind of victory, or even a defeat by less than two goals or during extra time, would get them through.
With that in mind, the Carioca wanted to have things rolling and managed to hit first, thanks to one of the best players in the competition, Benjamin Jr. That did not impress Pars Jonoobi, who were determined to go all the way in the competition, as Moslem Mesigar made clear with the equalizer immediately afterwards.
Two minutes before the break Thyago turned the score around for the Persian side, who would get into second leg 2-1 ahead.
That second period meant the game’s turning point, as a 0-2 run by Pars left the score 4-1. Goalkeeper Behzapour not only produced unbelievable saves to keep his nets safe, but also contributed to his teams offensive registers, with the 1-5 just seconds into last frame.
When Flamengo tried to react, it seemed already too late. The Iranian will seemed indestructible, and despite the Carioca managed to cut the distance, their reaction finally fell one goal short, sending them to the fight for the bronze agains Corinthians.
