Number 10 thanked the fans for Father’s Day on Sunday (09) at the Maracanã

Flamengo did their job on the night of last Sunday (09), when they beat Vitória 2-0 in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. After the important win in the Brasileirão, Arrascaeta sent a message to the Rubro-Negro Nation.

In short, Arrascaeta used social media to thank Flamengo’s fans after the Brasileirão victory. “Thank you for yesterday, Nation. What a Father’s Day! Us for us,”said the number 10 on X, formerly Twitter.

It is worth remembering that, even before the match against Vitória, Arrascaeta had made a special request to Flamengo’s fans. On that occasion, the Uruguayan also used social media to call on supporters to go to the Maracanã on Sunday (09).

Did Arrascaeta’s request work?

Yes! That’s because, after Arrascaeta’s request, Flamengo’s fans turned out in force at the Maracanã. Not for nothing, the crowd at the stadium was nearly 60 thousand. To be more exact, the stadium welcomed 58,226 fans last Sunday (09). Of those, 55,270 were paying attendees. In addition, Fla brought in revenue of R$ 4.684 million.

How did Flamengo’s win happen?

It is worth noting that Flamengo opened the scoring 13 minutes into the first half. In the play, Erick Pulgar received the ball unmarked in midfield and unleashed a rocket into Lucas Arcanjo’s top corner. Then, Mais Querido’s second goal in the match came in the second half.

Thus, in the 34th minute of the second half, Flamengo launched a counterattack with Jorge Carrascal, who passed to Bruno Henrique in midfield. The number 27 accelerated toward the box, created space and fired a left-footed rocket to make it 2-0.

What is Fla’s situation in the standings?

Currently, Flamengo are in second place in the Brasileirão, now with 42 points. Palmeiras, on the other hand, have 48, that is, six ahead of Mais Querido. However, Rubro-Negro still have one game in hand on the São Paulo club in the 2026 edition of the national tournament.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Now, Flamengo switch gears to focus on the Copa Libertadores. That’s because, on Wednesday (12), Mais Querido face Cruzeiro in the first leg of the round of 16 of the South American tournament. The match takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mineirão, in Belo Horizonte.

Who is broadcasting Flamengo vs Cruzeiro?
