The New York Giants had a contingent on hand Saturday during a Taca Guanabara Cup 2020 final match between Flamengo and Boavista at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Those in attendance included quarterback Daniel Jones, wide receiver Sterling Shepard, running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram.

Some partner-fans of Rubro-Negro (Scarlet-Black) were able to pre-register to meet with the Giants, while some of the soccer players tested their ball-handling skills.
Jones looked a bit out of sorts.

Flamengo ultimately defeated Boavista, 2-1, in full-time with a Gabriel Barbosa goal at the 82-minute mark.
Barbosa was wearing a No. 24 to honor late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who tragically passed away earlier this year in a helicopter crash that also took the life of his daughter, Gigi, and seven others.
