Despite the narrow scoreline, Flamengo dominated Grêmio in Porto Alegre on Sunday (10) in a Brasileirão match. As a result, former player Rafael Sobis, who won the 2012 Brasileirão with Fluminense, said that facing the rubro-negro squad is unfair.
— I really enjoy watching Flamengo; wherever they play, the team imposes itself and goes for it. It became crystal clear that after 20 minutes, the Grêmio players were already tired of chasing them. Then Flamengo started making substitutions… it’s unfair -, the commentator said during “Fechamento Sportv”.
Flamengo controlled the game against Grêmio, even away from home. The rubro-negro side had 20 shots, compared to six from the team from Rio Grande do Sul. However, despite the superior numbers, the Most Beloved won 1-0, with a goal from Jorge Carrascal in the second half.
Léo Ortiz played a pass to Emerson Royal, who found Carrascal first-time at the penalty spot. Without letting the ball hit the ground, the Colombian midfielder smashed it into the net past Weverton. After that, Fla managed the result.
With Sobis watching, Flamengo are coming off a win over Grêmio and will face Vitória this Thursday (14). Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.
Therefore, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage on the website, YouTube, and other social media platforms. The broadcast of the Copa do Brasil clash, however, will be on Premiere (pay-per-view) and SporTV (subscription channel).
