Even though Flamengo has already clinched the top spot in Group D and Los Angeles FC has been eliminated from the Club World Cup, this match is far from meaningless. Both teams have motivations ranging from pride to potential financial gains. LAFC has the opportunity to become just the second MLS team to secure a victory in this competition, which would also add two million dollars to their share of the prize pool. Even earning a draw would bring a significant one million dollars.
For Flamengo, the game serves as a chance to maintain their excellent form and finish the group stage with a perfect record. Under the guidance of Filipe Luis, they have performed admirably, demonstrating resilience, determination, and considerable skill, having conceded only one goal throughout the tournament so far.

Historical Meeting
This upcoming game will mark the first official encounter between these two clubs.
Key Player to Watch
Wesley, Flamengo: Among the promising young talents making an impact in the tournament, right-back Wesley has been particularly impressive. At only 21 years old, and already called up to the senior Brazil national team, his progress has been rapid. By learning from experienced players, he has improved significantly in balancing his offensive contributions with maintaining defensive shape. If he continues to develop this aspect of his game, it`s likely only a matter of time before he attracts attention from larger European clubs.
Match Storyline
Can LAFC end their campaign positively?: Having entered the tournament through the playoffs, LAFC likely had higher expectations for their performance. The narrow margin was evident in their previous match, where Denis Bouanga missed a penalty that could have secured a point. Despite their elimination, this final game offers LAFC a valuable chance to achieve a historic victory for the club in the Club World Cup, and they will undoubtedly be driven to succeed.
Prediction
As Flamengo may look to protect their key players and avoid injuries ahead of the knockout rounds, LAFC could capitalize on this, potentially securing a draw to end their Club World Cup journey on a positive note. Predicted Score: LAFC 1, Flamengo 1
