Flamengo beat Mirassol, go level at top of Brasileirão; goals 🎥 | OneFootball

Flamengo are now just one point behind Palmeiras in the race for the top spot in the Brasileirão.

The gap narrowed even further this Wednesday (2) with a 2-0 win over Mirassol in a postponed Matchday 4 fixture.

Jorge Carrascal and Lucas Paquetá scored the goals at the Maracanã. Both came in the first half.

With the result, Mirassol remain just above the relegation zone.

Watch the match highlights below:

The match

As in recent games, Flamengo started at a high tempo and in control of proceedings.

Despite having more possession, the opening goal came from a counterattack.

Pulgar started the move with a lovely through ball.

The ball went past Samuel Lino and Pedro before reaching Carrascal, who was free to make it 1-0 in the 14th minute.

The worrying note for Flamengo was Pulgar having to be substituted still in the first half after feeling a physical issue.

After scoring the first goal, Carrascal also provided the assist for the second.

He lofted the ball into the box and found Lucas Paquetá, who headed it into the net.

Mirassol managed to spend more time in the attacking half in the second half, but they hardly troubled Rossi.

In the closing stages, Leonardo Jardim once again gave opportunities to players who had seen little game time.

Everton Cebolinha came on late once again, and Saúl was brought on for an official match for the first time since May.
