In a postponed match from the 4th round of the Brasileirão Série A, Flamengo defeated Mirassol 2-0 on Wednesday night (2) at the Maracanã and reached 51 points in 25 matches. The team is now just one point behind leaders Palmeiras, who have played the same number of games. Carrascal and Paquetá scored Flamengo’s goals.

With the result, Mirassol remained on 25 points and stayed out of the relegation zone by the slimmest of margins: they are 16th, with the same number of points, the same goal difference, and the same goals scored as Vasco, staying ahead of the Rio club because of the head-to-head record.

More than 60,000 people were at the Maracanã to watch Flamengo beat Mirassol 2-0.

The match was postponed from the 4th round because of Flamengo’s participation in the Recopa Sudamericana final against Lanús of Argentina. The change gave the team more time to prepare for the second leg of the continental decider, which was played at the Maracanã.

On that occasion, the Argentine side won the title, with an aggregate score of 4-2 over the two final matches.
