Flamengo scores in stoppage time, defeats Corinthians and reaches the G6 of the Brazilian Championship

In a game with few emotions, Flamengo saved its strength for stoppage time and beat Corinthians 1-0 at Maracanã. Léo Pereira scored a goal in the 48th minute, after an uninspiring game from Rubro-Negro, who currently occupies 6th place in the Brazilian Championship, with 12 goals. The goal at the end was a hard blow for the São Paulo club, who had the best chances, but were unable to take advantage. The team remains in the relegation zone, with just 5 points. This week, Flamengo and Corinthians will leave the Brazilian Championship aside to focus on the Copa Libertadores. The two teams play on Wednesday, at 9:30 pm, in the fourth round of the group stage. Rubro-Negro faces Nuevablense, in Chile. Timão will travel to Argentina to face Argentinos Juniors. + See classification and classification of the Brazilian Championship LOTS OF CLASS, LITTLE FOOTBALL The game started very truncated, with the teams prioritizing scoring, without giving space to defense. Flamengo took the initiative, but came up against a solid defensive system from Corinthians, whose life was made easier by the absences of Ribeiro and Arrascaeta, from Everton, vetoed on the day of the game. Without midfielders, Rubro-Negro found it very difficult to make plays, leaving them to move the ball from one side to the other ineffectively. CORINTIANS GROWS Flamengo's lack of intensity generated impatience among the fans and urgency for the team, which began to make mistakes more frequently. Good for Corinthians, who now had the chance to counterattack. With the playing field, Róger Guedes started to work more, making it dangerous for Rubro-Negro. Corinthians' number 10 was responsible for two good attacks. In the first, Matheus Bidu scored, who shot from the left. In the second, he shot from the right side of the area, but Yuri Alberto couldn't reach it. FLAMENGO WAKES UP Despite the chances created, the first half was extremely sleepy until the first half stoppage time. When the “+4” sign appeared, everyone in the stadium wondered when it would end, as almost nothing happened. But it was at that time that Flamengo was most dangerous. Rubro-Negro created two good chances, forcing goalkeeper Cássio to make good saves from shots by Gabigol and Victor Hugo. TIMÃO'S BLITZ After finishing the first half on a high, Flamengo expected to return from the break more connected, but it was just the opposite. Before the 10th minute, Corinthians had two clear chances to open the scoring. Santos missed the shot, the ball fell at the feet of Paulinho, who set up Yuri Alberto. The striker, in front of the goal, shot over the goalkeeper. The pressure continued and again the center forward had a chance, but headed wide. NATION IN EXCUSE Corinthians' pressure without Flamengo's reaction caused irritation among the fans and the feeling reached its peak after the replacement of Erick Polegar by Vidal. Flamengo fans reacted to the incident and called coach Jorge Sampaoli an idiot. Later, when Pedro left Cebolinha, donkeys could be heard braying, but they were scared. SUCCESSFUL GAME In the final stretch of the second half, Corinthians seemed a little tired and reduced their attack attempts, showing signs that the draw would be good. Flamengo, in turn, looked for the goal from the end and found it with insistence. If he wasn't working on technique, he was practicing, using the shower. Like a true center forward, defender Léo Pereira was in the area and tested the corner to give Rubro-Negro the victory, in stoppage time.
