After the win, Flamengo, who brutally trolled Chelsea after they beat them 3-1 earlier in the Club World Cup, put up a message to congratulate their rivals on a well-earned victory.
The Brazilian club's post read: "Congratulations, Chelsea, deserved Champions."
However, Chelsea's social media admin had not forgotten the savage dig the South American side had aimed at them just weeks before.
At the time Flamengo had said: "Easy win against London Blue!"

This is a reference to the Stamford Bridge outfit's name on the Pro Evolution Soccer video games series, which did not have the licence to name Premier League teams under Japanese publisher, Konami.
And after seeing Flamengo call them by their proper name, they could not resist a sarcastic dig back at them.
Chelsea replied: "Chelsea? I thought it was London Blue?"
Trevoh Chalobah was loving the response, and said: "COOKED," with an added crying emoji.

Ruben Amorim explains why Man Utd fans must wait for Bryan Mbeumo debut
Ruben Amorim is easing Bryan Mbeumo into life at Manchester United very slowly fans will have to wait to see the summer signing in action. The £65m new arrival from Brentford has joined up with his new teammates and trained with the Red Devils, but Amorim is waiting to unleash him against opposition. Manchester United's pre-season preparation continued with a 2-1 win over West Ham in New Jersey, thanks to two goals from Bruno Fernandes, but Mbeumo was not involved in the squad. The Cameroon international is not injured, but he is working on reaching match fitness, with Amorim not ready to put him in a game context just yet. The Red Devils are back in action in the early hours of Thursday morning UK time against Bournemouth and Mbeumo will not be playing then either.

'We hope to have Bryan in the last game [of the tour of America]. He's training now, so we'll see.' That final game of the Premier League Summer Series comes on Saturday against Everton in Atlanta, Georgia, kicking off at 10pm UK time. The former Bees star still has time to get up to speed before the Premier League season begins against Arsenal at Old Trafford on August 17. After the clash with the Toffees in Atlanta, United return home to face Fiorentina at Old Trafford on Saturday August 9, their final pre-season action. Fellow new signings Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon were involved against the Hammers, with the Brazilian starting the match and the Paraguayan coming off the bench. Amorim hailed a few of his star names after the win over West Ham, pointing out that Cunha will bring something to his side that was missing over the last campaign. 'All the guys. I don't want to talk specifically,' Amorim said on who impressed him in the friendly, before talking specifically. More Trending 'Rasmus [Hojlund] did well. I really liked Rasmus's game, the runs and the way he fought during the game, one against one, when we kicked the ball. He connected with the team-mates so he did a great job. 'Matheus Cunha is that kind of player that can help us, he can help us a lot because he can run with the ball and that is something that can change the game. We missed that last year. 'In the first half, Kobbie [Mainoo] and Manu [Ugarte] were really good. I'm not going to talk about the second team because it's really hard for 11 [10] players to go to the pitch, you know, a lot of young kids. 'But I really like the team. Of course, you have to look at the game and you have to improve things.'

Veteran Moyes is beginning his 28th campaign in the dugout, leading the Toffees into their new home at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Moyes, who confirmed he is looking to land Bayern Munich's Moroccan teenager Adam Aznou in a potential £8m move, said: 'We've signed three, so if you take that off, we're still in the need of maybe five or six players. 'That's what we have to try and do. 'In the past I probably have had to sign a lot of players, but I've never had to do so many in one window as we need now.'

He said: 'We're sort of picking up a little bit of what we're at the end of now. 'We had a lot of people out of contracts, a lot of loan players, because of the financial situation.

'That's not taking us away from the fact that we want to try and buy some young players as well. 'I'm hoping by the time we get to the end of the transfer window, we might have a balance of youth and experience.' Moyes is without Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski and Michael Keane, leaving him perilously light in defence. And he is already concerned about the impact of the African Cup of Nations that starts before Christmas and will strip him of Senegal duo Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye. 5 Everton's top scorer last season, Iliman Ndiaye, will be unavailable during AFCON due to his commitments to the Senegal national team Credit: Getty He said: 'I always want my players to be selected for their country. I want them to represent their countries because I think that's the right thing to do. 'But when they get taken away in the mid-season, it becomes a problem. 'So we will miss them. And it's something which I know a lot of clubs are considering. 'If you're going to buy an African player who's in the AFCON, what's going to happen? Will clubs not sign African players because of the AFCON?'
