Flamengo thrashed Mirassol 5-1 this Sunday (16) at Estádio Maião, in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Monday (17) brings the national tournament round to a close with the clash between Internacional and Remo, while the battle for higher spots in the table intensifies.

Internacional and Remo take the field at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time) this Monday at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre. SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match that closes the round for all of Brazil.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF INTERNACIONAL AND REMO IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Internacional is chasing its first win in the Brazilian Championship in the second half of the year. The Colorado side has gone six matches without a win in the national tournament, a stretch that includes four defeats. In the meantime, the club from Rio Grande do Sul dropped into the relegation zone following Santos’ win over Vasco and now sits in 17th place with 23 points. Therefore, a positive result would be enough to leave the bottom four.

On the other hand, Remo is playing a hugely important direct clash in the lower part of the table. So, if they secure their first away win since the end of the World Cup, the blue-and-white team will leave the danger zone and overtake Internacional, Mirassol, and Vasco.

AND FLAMENGO?

Flamengo thrashed Mirassol 5-1 at Estádio Maião this Sunday (16) and reached 47 points in the Brazilian Championship standings. With the result in the 23rd round, the Rubro-Negro side cut the gap to leaders Palmeiras to just three points, while still having a game in hand in the national competition.

The Rio side’s early pressure paid off in the 22nd minute of the first half. Plata set the ball up for Carrascal to control it, beat his marker, and open the scoring. Shortly before halftime, Carrascal burst toward the box and was fouled by Denilson, but the referee only showed the opposing defender a yellow card.

Right at the start of the second half, the lead was extended after a beautiful passing move that ended with a finish from Luiz Araújo. Three minutes later, Ayrton Lucas delivered a low cross for Pedro to score the third. With strong attacking intensity, the number 9 received a pass from Carrascal in the 20th minute of the second half, got past his marker, and scored the fourth, drawing level with Viveros in the Brasileirão scoring charts.

Finally, the substitutions made by Leonardo Jardim kept the tempo high and produced the fifth goal, scored by Samuel Lino after an assist from Arrascaeta. Mirassol pulled one back shortly afterward through João Victor, with a header from a corner kick, while another Samuel Lino goal was ruled out for offside before the final whistle.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Flamengo returns to action in the Brasileirão next Saturday (19), against Cruzeiro, at Mineirão. Before that, however, Mengão will have another commitment, the second leg of the Libertadores round of 16, on Wednesday (22), also against the Belo Horizonte side, at the Maracanã.

The first leg ended in a draw, so any simple win will be enough to secure a place in the quarterfinals of the continental competition. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
