Last Wednesday, Flamengo was crowned champion of the Brazilian Championship by defeating Ceará 1-0 at Maracanã, in the 37th and penultimate round of the national tournament. The main highlight of the match was Samuel Lino, who scored the title-winning goal and drove the fans wild.
Samuel Lino was one of Flamengo's main outlets against a Ceará that came to Maracanã to defend. The number 16 was called upon several times throughout the first half until he received a deep ball from Carrascal inside the area and struck past the goalkeeper, sealing the red-black triumph.
Another positive highlight of the match was Jorginho, who once again proved to be the maestro orchestrating Flamengo's midfield. The midfielder was everywhere on the field and showcased his technical ability to distribute the game. He also attempted two placed shots from outside the area that came close to the goal.
Arrascaeta and Carrascal, on the other hand, had slightly quieter games but were still important for Flamengo's victory. Especially the Colombian, who found a beautiful pass to Samuel Lino and provided the assist that led to the title-winning goal.
The red-black defensive system was rarely tested, but Léo Pereira and Danilo performed well again. Both cut almost all the crosses that Ceará attempted, whether on the ground or in the air, and did not allow Pedro Raul to play. Vôzão had only one shot on goal throughout the 90 minutes.
