Flamengo beat Corinthians this afternoon (18), in Neo Química Arena, reached 34 points and is the new leader of the Brazilian Championship. The 5-1 victory happened thanks to goals from Everton Ribeiro, Vitinho, Natan, Bruno Henrique and Diego. Gil cashed in for the São Paulo team.
It is worth mentioning, however, that Atlético-MG and Internacional, which have 31 points, still enter the field in matches valid for this day. Colorado catches Vasco at 6.15pm, while Galo faces Bahia tomorrow (19).
With the result, Timão was left with 18 points and the proximity of the relegation zone remains a concern. In the next round, Corinthians will visit Vasco, in São Januário, while Rubro-Negro will face Internacional, in Beira-Rio.
Historical score
Corinthians suffered their biggest defeat in the history of their new stadium since 2014. Until this afternoon, the worst defeat had been precisely for Flamengo, who won 3-0 in 2018.
I start with a chance
Corinthians and Flamengo started the game by going on the attack. On the side of Timão, Otero made a good play and Vital, who received deep, crossed low for the cut of Gustavo Henrique. Shortly after, it was Everton Ribeiro’s turn to try, but Cássio made a calm defense.
Goal canceled
At 9 minutes, the red and black crowd celebrated, but Pedro’s goal was disallowed. The forward brandished the net after taking advantage of a deflection in the defense and displacing Cássio, however, the VAR indicated that the ball had left the ball when Vitinho stole the ball from the right wing.
Fla accelerates; Timon with difficulty
After the start, even balanced, Domènec Torrent’s team managed to speed up the game, impose more rhythm and cause problems for Corinthians, playing close to the rival area.
On the other hand, Vagner Mancini’s men, after combining good passes and even having more possession, began to put pressure on each other and saw the game get complicated. He missed many moves with the ball and depended on Otero’s actions on dead balls.
Now thanks
After almost, Flamengo opened the scoring. After crossing Filipe Luís, Everton Ribeiro came up and, in his head, sent Cássio’s right corner, swinging the net. Jersey 7, recently called up for the Brazilian team, became a doubt for this match after coming out of the confrontation with Red Bull Bragantino accusing pain in his left knee.
Gustavo Henrique leaves after “unusual” cut
Defender Gustavo Henrique had to be substituted in the first half after suffering a direct trauma to the testicle. The player even received initial assistance, but soon after had to leave the pitch, giving Noga a place. He remained under observation in the locker room.
On the grass
In the final stretch of the first half, Corinthians managed to scare goalkeeper Hugo. First, Camacho took him to the front of the area, straightened up and struck. The ball exploded off the crossbar. Then, after a corner, Xavier sent dangerously.
Celebrate, Vitinho!
Vitinho, who won a starting opportunity in the duel after a good performance in the first half, was awarded at the beginning of the final stage. After a good play from Everton Ribeiro on the right, the 11 shirt received and hit well to extend the red-and-black lead.
Corinthians moves, Fla does one more
After the second goal, coach Vagner Mancini tried to fix the house and immediately made three substitutions, putting Luan, Cazares and Gustavo Mantuan on the field. However, shortly after, Fla reached the third. On a corner kick, defender Nathan, from the red and black base, appeared on the back of the defense and made the third.
It was the young man’s first goal as a professional player.
Another goal disallowed
Defender Gil took advantage of Luan’s free kick and headed it into the net, but the referees pointed to an irregular positioning. The VAR confirmed the appointment.
Everything the same, with a goal at the end
In the next minute, almost a rep. In another foul, Luan sent to the area and, again, Gil went up and sent to the net. This time, a legal move and a validated goal.
Save Hugo!
Corinthians improved in the game and began to have a greater presence in the attack field. The São Paulo team did not limit themselves to touching the scoreboard thanks to two saves by goalkeeper Hugo, in the same play. The former showed a quick reaction and managed to catch a kick from Cazares. In continuity, Luan submitted, the ball went up and Hugo managed to extend it.
Do not drink
Shortly after Corinthians nearly took second, Flamengo made it to fourth. In a quick attack, Isla crossed, Pedro tried and the ball was left to Bruno Henrique, alone, to push into the net.
Even with the fourth goal, Corinthians maintained the change of position that they had shown with the changes. The team tried to move on and found, in the dead balls, a way to annoy Fla. Goalkeeper Hugo was forced to appear again.
Great T-shirt 10
In the final stretch, midfielder Diego scored a great goal! Shirt 10 received, lined up, entered the area and hit the exit of Cássio.
Shirt stock
Corinthians and Flamengo entered the field wearing a shirt from Ação da Cidadania, an NGO founded in 1993 by the sociologist Betinho. Rubro-Negro will also sport the Christmas Without Hunger logo on their uniforms. After the game, they will be auctioned and the funds raised will be donated to the campaign, which opens this Sunday.
