Flamengo extend winning run over Vitória in Salvador | OneFootball

Now, Flamengo hasn't lost to Vitória in Salvador for seven games

Flamengo defeated Vitória 2-1 last Tuesday (10) and secured their first victory in the Brazilian Championship. In addition to bouncing back in the competition, the red-and-black team maintained their positive record against the Bahia side in the capital of Bahia.

That's because Flamengo hasn't lost to Vitória in Salvador since 2013. On that occasion, the Bahia team beat the red-and-black side 4-2 in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Wallace and Hernane Brocador scored the only goals for Mengão.

With this, Flamengo extended their unbeaten streak to seven matches. During this period, the Most Beloved came out victorious on six occasions. In addition, the two clubs drew 2-2 on April 14, 2018, also in the Brazilian Championship.

HOW WAS THE GAME AGAINST VITÓRIA?

Flamengo took the lead with a beautiful goal from Erick Pulgar from outside the box. Before halftime, the red-and-black team increased their lead with Everton Cebolinha, after a great pass from Léo Ortiz. Finally, the Bahia side pulled one back after the break with Matheuzinho.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo leaves the Brazilian Championship aside to focus on the Campeonato Carioca. That's because the red-and-black team faces Botafogo on Sunday (15), at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Nilton Santos, in the quarterfinals of the State Championship.
