Flamengo’s return over Bahia, winning 4-3 after being with a man less than 9 minutes into the game, will go down in club history. A controversial refereeing match, serious defensive errors by the red and black defense, incredible reaction power from the Bahian team and an absolutely incredible outcome.
The expulsion of Gabigol at the beginning of the first half changed the course of the game. By then Flamengo had already scored 1-0 on a beautiful goal by Bruno Henrique, finishing off a play that was born from the anticipation of the young João Gomes, substitute for Willian Arão and Thiago Maia, injured. And the jersey 9 almost expanded kicking near the post on the play that preceded the red card.
São Paulo referee Flavio Rodrigues de Souza took Gabriel Barbosa out of the game after the player missed a pass and reacted with words. It seems that the complainant understood that he was offended by him. The athlete reacted in disagreement and took about five minutes to leave the field of play. If he really cursed him, the card makes sense. Although, let’s face it, it may have been a reaction to his failure, hard to tell without witnessing it up close.
The fact is that Flamengo still had 50% possession of the ball in the first 45 minutes, finished as much as Bahía (eight times) and hit more on goal (3 to 2), according to statistics SofaScore. Isla extended the assist from Bruno Henrique, who still had a great opportunity after Arrascaeta’s play, but kicked close to the post. It would be his second goal of collation and the 19th of the year. He adds nine assists in 2020, in 41 appearances, by the numbers of CSM.
Prepared to act closed, Bahía de Mano Menezes felt the responsibility of having to take control of the game and have the ball at his feet for longer since he began to have one more man on the court. The tricolor had good chances, with Nino Paraíba and Ramírez, for example, but did not know how to take advantage of the numerical superiority from the nine minutes of departure.
Bahia quickly changed the score with Ramírez and Gilberto on two occasions. Flamengo was dominated and his defensive errors were decisive, given the fight of a tricolor team more organized by Mano after the break.
It went to 3 to 2 and Flamengo managed to turn the scoreboard (4 to 3) with goals from Pedro and Vitinho, with a pass from the center forward for the winning goal. Two athletes that Rogério Ceni took off the bench. A victory that can give the current champion more strength in the fight for another Brazilian title.
