The Rossoneri team did not excite the fans in the last match before leaving for Morocco
After losing the title of Brazilian Super Cup for Palmeiras, Flamengo returned to the field this Wednesday and won the Nice view For 1 to 0for the sixth round of Brazilian championshipin the last match before leaving for Morocco, where he will play Club World Cup. The performance was up and down, with many moments of little emotion throughout the match, but a goal from Pedro with a nice pass from Gabigol ensured the triumph.
The result leaves Flamengo with 14 points, first in the state, four points ahead of vice leaders Volta Redonda, who play against Fluminense on Thursday, also holders of 10 points out of ten. Botafogo have the same score, third, and one game less.
Vítor Pereira did not see the Rossoneri’s participation in the World Cup as a reason to save players and chose the starting line-up with some adjustments, also because, although the departure for Morocco was scheduled for this Thursday, the debut in the FIFA tournament will only take place on Tuesday next. Goalkeeper Santos was spared, as he suffered a muscle pain, and was replaced by Matheus Cunha. The Portuguese coach also made squad changes in relation to the defeat to Palmeiras at the weekend. Varela and Ayrton Lucas were removed in place of Matheuzinho and Filipe Luís.
In front of an enthusiastic crowd with emotions awaiting them next week, Flamengo played a tepid game until the second half of the first half. As he began to develop attacking plays more efficiently, he had the best chance of taking the score away with a shot from Gerson which stamped goalkeeper Fernando’s post, before Thiago Maia kicked wide on the rebound. From then on, it created other opportunities, but without much volume. The only move Matheus Cunha worked on was after a free kick from Peu.
The second half started like the first, without the crowd’s enthusiasm reflecting on the momentum of the team. It didn’t take long for Vítor Pereira to make changes and put Cebolinha, Pulgar and Ayrton Lucas in place of Everton Ribeiro, Thiago Maia and Filipe Luís. The goal, however, came from a talented offer from two players who had already been on the pitch from the start. Gabigol hit a nice ball and Pedro lunged into the box to touch the ball in the air and put it into the net.
Flamengo took few risks throughout much of the final tournament but had some moments of concern in the closing minutes, when Boavista was present in the attacking field and activated Matheus Cunha more than once. The pressure wasn’t sustained and the grafts were calmer, until the referee blew his whistle and confirmed Flamengo’s triumph.
