Wallace Yan and Samuel Lino missed penalties for Flamengo

Flamengo beat Atlético-MG 1-0 on Wednesday (06), but was eliminated after missing two penalty kicks, one of them by Wallace Yan. After the match, Matheus Gonçalves sent a supportive message to number 64, showing solidarity with his teammate for the upcoming challenges of Mengão.

Through the 'stories' of Instagram, Matheus Gonçalves sent a message to Wallace Yan: "We are together. Keep your head up. We need you." It's worth noting that they have been playing together since the youth categories and are now seeking more opportunities in the professional team of Flamengo.

WHAT HAPPENED TO WALLACE YAN?

Starting against Atlético-MG, Wallace Yan was very close to being the hero of the match. At the 36th minute of the second half, Samuel Lino shot across, the ball deflected off the defense and fell to the youth academy player, who couldn't head it into the back of the net. However, number 64, who almost scored the qualifying goal, ended up missing the decisive penalty.

With Flamengo's 1-0 victory, the match ended in a draw on aggregate. In the penalty shootout, Samuel Lino and Wallace Yan missed their shots. Thus, the striker, who was one of the most talked-about names in the match, due to his exchanges of taunts with Atlético-MG players, ended the night lamenting the negative result.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

With Wallace Yan seeking 'redemption', Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (09) to face Mirassol. The match takes place at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website and social networks.
