Victory

Rubro-Negro leads with 63 points

Flamengo beat América-MG, 3 x 0, in Uberlândia, this Sunday (26), and overtook Botafogo in the Brasileirão. Now, Rubro-Negro is vice-leader, with 63 points.

First time

Flamengo took a huge beating from the Brasileirão’s bottom team in the first few minutes. There was even a ball on the post.

However, in the 28th minute, Ayrton Lucas crossed for Cebolinha, free in the area, to head into the corner. Jori still touched the ball, but was unable to complete the defense. Mengo 1 x 0.

The rest of the first stage was lukewarm, and the Rio team managed the result.

Second time

After a play by Arrascaeta, who won with speed, he passed it to Bruno Henrique, and assisted Pedro to hit Jori’s exit: Flamengo 2 x 0!

Rubro-Negro could have expanded immediately afterwards.

Arrascaeta received the ball at the edge of the area and hit the corner, but the ball hit the post.

Pedro also had a great chance, in the 26th minute.

Everton Ribeiro made a great play on the baseline and rolled the ball for Pedro to finish. Jori made a great save.

However, at 39, Mengão expanded.

Pedro opened for Cebolinha in the area, crossed low for Everton Ribeiro to finish and score Flamengo’s third: 3 x 0.
