That is because Mirassol remained stuck on 23 points. By the end of Sunday (16), Rafael Guanaes’ team was still outside the relegation zone. However, Internacional vs Remo was still to be played to wrap up the round, and the result did not help the club from the countryside.

With a goal from Carbonero just three minutes into the match, Internacional opened the scoring. But Remo equalized with the last kick of the game, thanks to a thunderous long-range strike by Vitor Bueno. As a result, the team from Rio Grande do Sul climbed out of the bottom four, now with 24 points in 16th place. On the other hand, the team from Pará moved up to 23 points, in 18th. It is also worth noting that Vasco (22) and Chapecoense (11) are in the relegation zone as well.

IS FLAMENGO THE LEADER?

Flamengo is not yet the leader in total points, but it is first when considering the points-lost criterion. After all, Palmeiras sits at the top with 48 points from 23 matches. Meanwhile, Mengão is second, with 45 points from 22 matches.

Both teams have dropped 21 points in the competition. However, Flamengo has the better goal difference: 25 to 21. In other words, Rubro-Negro depends only on itself to win its 10th Brazilian title, becoming the first club to achieve the feat without any “fax” adjustments.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT BRASILEIRÃO MATCH?

Flamengo could take over first place in the Brasileirão next Saturday (22), at Mineirão, against Cruzeiro. If they win, the Most Beloved will be the leader, at least for a day. After all, Palmeiras only takes the field on Sunday (23), against Vasco da Gama, in São Paulo.

Before that, however, Flamengo’s full focus is on the Copa Libertadores de América. On Wednesday (19), the Most Beloved faces Cruzeiro in the second leg of the continental tournament. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION?

— Brazilian football is incredible. Two weeks ago, a large part of the fans believed the title already belonged to Palmeiras. Today, it seems only a matter of time before Flamengo takes the lead. However, the team needs to stay focused and serious to get there. The next round is quite complicated for Mengão —, said Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
