FLAMENGO BETTER STARTS AND UNLOCKS RESULT

After a difficult start with no clear scoring opportunities, the Flamengo match turned when I started exploring the right side to attack. In the 17th minute, Marinho fired Everton Ribeiro at the back line, and the midfielder crossed Pedro to open the scoring with a superb shot. Then, in the 24th minute, the striker received a good cross from Matteo Zinho, but he missed it in a small area. In the 30th minute, after another red-and-black move from the right, Santos’ defense shot it poorly and Victor Hugo finished wide.

Santos even with the failure of Santos

In the first half with little inspiration in attack, Santos was compromised after 38 minutes. After quick transfers, Lucas Braga finished with two goals on the left side, but stopped in two good saves for Santos. But in the second half, the Flamengo goalkeeper was not so lucky and contributed to Santos’ equalizer. In the 20th minute, Vinicius Zanusillo took a powerful free kick, and the goalkeeper accepted it and the home team equalized.

GABIGOL intervenes, causes confusion and resolves

Until the start of the match on the bench, Gabigol was the hero of the night at Villa Belmiro. Because of the hostility of the home team’s fans, the striker entered the field after Santos equalized, causing general confusion, receiving a yellow card and putting Flamengo ahead. All this within five minutes. The goal, which sealed the victory, came after Joao Paulo’s return in Pedro’s surrender.
