Flamengo icon slams showing v Vasco: “Being better is pointless if…” | OneFootball

Flamengo let a draw slip to Vasco after going 2-0 up in the match

Flamengo ‘stumbled’ against Vasco this Sunday (03) and drew 2-2 in the 14th round of the Brasileirão. A Rubro-Negro idol and Globo commentator, Maestro Júnior was straightforward and criticized the performance of Leonardo Jardim’s team.

— It’s no use being superior, you have to show that superiority. Until the 38th minute, Flamengo showed superiority, but even so, Vasco created two or three chances in the first half. Renato took a risk and did it well, scored from a set piece, and then kept pushing and was rewarded with the result -, Júnior said.

What happened in the Flamengo vs Vasco match?

Flamengo dominated Vasco for most of the derby. It’s no surprise that the Rubro-Negro opened the scoring just seven minutes into the first half, through Pedro. In addition, in the 15th minute of the second half, the number 9 won a penalty and, as usual, Jorginho converted it perfectly, extending the lead.

However, after increasing the advantage, Flamengo allowed Vasco to have possession of the ball. As a result, their Rio rival pulled one back in the 39th minute of the second half, through Robert Renan. Finally, in the last play of the game, Hugo Moura took advantage of a cross and leveled the derby.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now puts the Brasileirão ‘aside’ and turns its focus back to the Libertadores. This Thursday (07), the Rubro-Negro faces Independiente Medellín (COL) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Atanasio Girardot Stadium, in the fourth round of the continental tournament.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
