Flamengo has an additional concern for the next match in the Brasileirão. This is because, on this Sunday (05), Danilo was sent off and is out of the classic match against Botafogo, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão.
Danilo started among Flamengo's starters against Bahia in place of Léo Pereira, who is serving an automatic suspension. However, early in the first half, the number 13 received a red card.
The expulsion of Danilo occurred after Bahia launched an attack with Ademir. On that occasion, the attacker from the Bahia team managed to anticipate Flamengo's defender, who ended up hitting the opponent's face with a high foot. Therefore, Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima showed the red card to Flamengo's number 13.
While Danilo will be out, Léo Pereira returns after serving an automatic suspension. Thus, the number 4 should take over and pair up again with Léo Ortiz in the duel with Botafogo, for the next round of the Brasileirão.
Shortly after the expulsion of Danilo, Bahia began to pressure Flamengo and scored at the end of the first half. With a goal from Willian José, the Bahia team beat the Rubro-Negro 1-0, in Salvador.
Without Danilo available, Flamengo faces Botafogo on October 15, at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), at Engenhão. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV shows the details of the classic match with the most Rubro-Negro coverage on the internet, on YouTube.
