The first half started with Brazilian attacks with playmaker Yuri missing the target by inches. The 12th minute saw Flamengo take the lead with some quality finishing from Rheinier at the end of a perfect buildup in attack. Ten minutes later it was Yuri again who could have scored, but his finishing was not precise this time either. Flamengo hit the back of the net in the 26th minute when Rheinier secured a brace from a pinpoint pass from Rodrigo.

The second half an hour continued the way the first on finished. Flamengo were in possession most of the time and worked out opportunities at will. The domination bore its fruit in the 31st minute when Rhyan hit the right-hand corner of the net from 11 metres after some lovely ball control. Four minutes later the Greek deficit increased to four goals after Rodrigo heading the ball home from a close range. After losing to Puskás, the Brazilians’ win against a weak Greek side was absolutely well-deserved even by such a big margin.

The post-match penalty shootout was won 3–2 by Panathinaikos.
