In images released by Flamengo, Jorginho celebrated his first goal at Maracanã quite a lot. Afterwards, the midfielder hugged Matheus Cunha and, showing great happiness for scoring, said: “I train with this guy here.” After the statement, the Italo-Brazilian hugged Flamengo's reserve goalkeeper a lot.
Yes! Jorginho scored the second goal for Flamengo in the victory over Palmeiras. On that occasion, the number 21 took the penalty suffered by Pedro. With great skill, the player shot with no chance of defense for goalkeeper Carlos Miguel.
No! Matheus Cunha is the immediate option for Flamengo's goal, as Rossi is the undisputed starter in the red-black goal. Thus, the athlete, who has a current contract with the club until the end of this season, was available to Filipe Luís on the bench last Sunday (19).
With Jorginho and Matheus Cunha available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (22) to face Racing (ARG) in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal. In summary, the match will start at 21:30 (Brasília time) at Maracanã.
Thus, Coluna do Fla shows the details of the match with the most red-black coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on the website and social networks. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel), GETV (YouTube), and Paramount (streaming) will broadcast the duel.
