— The Flamengo squad, everyone who plays, must demonstrate why they are at Flamengo. That is a squad. We cannot have 11 for important games and 11 for less important games -, highlighted Jardim, who added:

— Danilo, Vitão, Paquetá, Everton, Nico… all are waiting for their opportunity. I am not worried about that. I cannot say we are the best squad and not believe in those who play less. They play less because only 11 can play -, stated the coach.

Erick Pulgar received his third yellow card at 26 minutes into the match against Remo at Maracanã. At 16 minutes into the second half, the number 4 of the Rubro-Negro committed a hard foul on Taliari in midfield, resulting in the defender's punishment.
