Occupying the top of the Brazilian, International and Fluminense Championships, they met this Sunday (22) for the 22nd match, at the Beira-Rio stadium, and the Rio de Janeiro team won 2-1, goals from Lucca and Caio Paulista, later. Maurício to open the scoreboard for the hosts.
The match was marked by the visiting team’s first goal, as Flu tied after an Olympic goal – a direct corner kick – from jersey 7 at the start of the second half.
In the next round, the colorado will visit Atlético-GO to try to stay in the first places, while the tricolor will receive RB Bragantino, who comes from a win against Bahia last Friday.
First loss at home
Inter lost the first match played in Beira-Rio in this edition of the Brazilian. Thus, in the Brasileirão without an audience in the stadium, only São Paulo did not stop scoring in any of its domains in the championship.
Technicians with identification
Abel Braga and Odair Hellmann faced teams that are marked in their professional careers. In the case of Abel, we have the Brazilian title with Carioca Tricolor in 2012, while for Odair it represents practically his entire career outside the four lines, having, at the top, in command of the main team from 2017 to 2019.
It’s worth noting that the teams they currently lead are also in their careers. Abel was champion of the Libertadores and the World Cup with Inter in 2006 and Odair played with the Flu shirt in 1999 and champion of Serie C that year, remaining with the club in one of the most difficult moments in the history of the tricolor of River.
Remembering that Abelão was not on the field today because he is recovering from the contagion of covid-19. Odair, for the first time, led a professional team in a game against Colorado.
Protest crowd
A group of Internacional fans hung banners upside down in Beira-Rio in protest at the team’s performance and management attitudes. Yesterday (21) they made two protests, morning and afternoon, before the team’s TC.
Bad phase
The defeat reinforces the bad moment of Colorado since the coach Eduardo Coudet went to Celta, from Spain. Since then, elimination in the Copa do Brasil and defeats to Santos and Gripe.
Who got it right: Lucca
Despite the lack of creativity from the Rio de Janeiro team, Lucca stood out as one of the few who sought the ball and generated complications for the strong pair of defenders crowned. In addition, shirt 7 scored a beautiful Olympic goal to tie the game and keep Flu “alive” in the confrontation.
Who was wrong: Muriel
Living in an unstable phase, the Fluminense goalkeeper had a more insecure performance and missed Maurício’s goal at the start of the game. On that occasion, the goalkeeper rebounded in the middle of the area after a defensible shot from the young Inter midfielder.
International operations
The Colorado team returned to make a consistent match in the Brazilian Championship. With a solid defense, an intense and proactive midfield and a versatile attack, Inter took advantage of the rival’s individual failures to take control of this Sunday’s clash in Beira-Rio. However, individual mistakes made the negative result happen this Sunday.
Fluminense’s performance
Once again, the Rio team had possession of the ball, it was proposed to propose the game, but sinned too much in the creation of plays and in the moments when they reached the rival area. With that, Fluminense did not bother goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba in the first stage.
However, the second half was different and with the ball stopped and individual talent shook the nets for two opportunities.
Game timeline
The game started truncated, with strong marking in the midfield, however, little by little the International was imposing itself and taking charge of the offensive actions. Still without finishing with danger in the tricolor goal, the local team filled the spaces and created difficulty for Fluminense.
At 14 minutes the first impact was played and, curiously, the Inter goal. Maurício received from Galhardo, went through Luccas Claro and Digão and kicked Muriel, who was not well on the play when he launched himself forward and gave the young man the opportunity to put the nets with a beautiful cross shot.
The first half ended with Inter control and Fluminense complaining of a penalty on the last play, however referee Luiz Flávio said that Lucca stopped fighting for the ball and did not suffer the infraction inside the area.
In the second stage, the away team’s shirt seven stood out again, but this time it was positive. That’s because the forward masterfully loaded the corner and scored a beautiful Olympic goal, to tie the game at 11 minutes.
When everything indicated that it would end in a draw, the Rio de Janeiro team was persistent and Caio Paulista, who had entered the second stage, took advantage of Marcos Paulo’s precise pass to put goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba into the net.
