The clear missed chances by Flamengo this season have been a striking feature. The team that creates the most and the most to play The away goal opportunities again showed such deficiency in the submissions and gave the tie to Red Bull Bragantino in serious failure of Island. Now, to be champion, the red-black team once again depends on a stumbling block from the leader, Internacional, who will host Sport on Wednesday.
Bragantino is one of the most interesting teams in Brazilian soccer. So much so that it doesn’t behave like so many stronger teams, or not so many, on countless occasions, acting like the weakest, backward, cornered.
Thus, the Bragança Paulista team raised the score. And it made it difficult for the red-black ball to come out, forcing Flamengo to hit him a couple of times, in an attempt to overcome the first line of scoring, well in advance.
But that means room for quick movements, and Flamengo conceded a few, best of which Bruno Henrique stopped at Cleiton. The São Paulo goalkeeper had already made a great defense when he finished off Gustavo Henrique.
After this play, by the way, the scoreboard was opened with a penalty awarded with the intervention of video refereeing. The Flamengo defender had his shirt ripped off while trying to head, he even touched the ball, but was clearly upset. If it wasn’t for the pull, it would obviously end better.
The seventh maximum sanction executed by Gabigol was reconverted, thus keeping T-shirt 9 its use at 100% in this regard. In the goal, Hugo, in turn, made an important defense in the initial stage, in Arthur’s shot when the game was still 0-0.
In the second half Flamengo showed, obviously, that he was not going to be able to maintain the intensity of the initial stage. Physically the team fell, but still had possibilities to expand and wasted them as in the first stage, stopping at Cleiton, bad with his feet and great with his hands.
The São Paulo team’s draw with Ytalo occurred in a very serious foul by Isla, which left the ball alive in the field. Goalkeeper Hugo complained, but it was too late. Still, the rojinegros had opportunities, despite the team clearly preaching. Cleiton stopped Pedro’s submission, playing Gabigol, in extra time.
It is difficult for a team to be a champion with so many expensive players, technically qualified, but who lose the opportunities that they create themselves. Bragantino continues to dream of a place in the Libertadores, something that, if the work continues at the same pace, will arrive in a matter of time if not in this championship, in the near future.
