There are three matches left for each team, and Flamengo could become champion in the next round of the Brasileirão.

On Tuesday (25th), at 9:30 PM, there will be Atlético-MG vs. Flamengo and Grêmio vs. Flamengo.

If Flamengo wins and Palmeiras loses, Fla will be the champion ahead of time.

To take this important step, Flamengo had to overcome a tough first half, with few real chances.

The red-black goal came only in the second half. Arrascaeta received from Jorginho, cleared the defense, and shot into the corner.

Next, Cebolinha crossed into the area, and Hurtado handled the ball. Jorginho took the penalty with style: 2-0.

With a packed Maracanã, Fla extended the lead. Bruno Henrique received from Arrascaeta and shot across to seal the score.
