Flamengo and Corinthians drew 1-1 with a miraculous save by Rossi at the end

At a numerical disadvantage, Flamengo can be thankful to have Rossi as their goalkeeper. That’s because, this Sunday (22), the red-and-black keeper made a miraculous save in stoppage time to prevent Corinthians from winning at Neo Química Arena, in the eighth round of the Brasileirão.

Evertton Araújo had already been sent off and the red-and-black squad was working twice as hard. Thus, the match went into ten minutes of stoppage time, when the opponent crossed the ball, Yuri Alberto controlled it and turned for a well-executed volley, but it was saved by the keeper.

Why was Evertton Araújo sent off?

In the second half, Evertton Araújo contested the ball with Breno Bidon and accidentally stepped on the Corinthians player’s heel. However, in the first half, Jorginho took a punch to the face, but the aggressor Gabriel Paulista didn’t even receive a yellow card.

Who scored Flamengo’s goal?

At three minutes into the match, Corinthians’ attempt to play out from the back failed. Thus, Pedro received the ball, turned, and passed to Paquetá inside the box. The midfielder immediately struck a side-footed shot into the right corner of Hugo Souza’s goal.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

In fourth place with 14 points, Mengão and Brazilian football have paused for the FIFA international break. Thus, Fla will only play again on April 2, against Red Bull Bragantino, away from home, in the ninth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
