What was the first half of the match between Flamengo and Lausanne like?

As expected, Flamengo started the match controlling possession. The Rubro-Negro’s first chance came in the ninth minute after a foul on Cebolinha, but the No. 11 ended up shooting over the goal.

Then, in the 15th minute, Wallace Yan received a pass from Joshua and aimed for the left corner of goalkeeper Castella, who made an impressive save and denied Flamengo the opener. Shortly after, in the 32nd minute, Cebolinha delivered a beautiful cross to the No. 64, but the forward hit the side netting.

Right after that, in the 39th minute, Cebolinha tried a shot from distance but was again stopped by goalkeeper Castella. So, despite creating the best chances, the Rubro-Negro could not open the scoring, and the teams went into halftime at 0-0.

What was the second half of the match between Flamengo and Lausanne like?

Right after the break, Leonardo Jardim brought on Ayrton Lucas to play at right back in place of Emerson Royal, while Lorran replaced Luiz Araújo. And it was from the feet of the Ninho graduate that Flamengo’s first goal against Lausanne came.

In the sixth minute, Johnny started a move down the left side of the attack, finding Wallace Yan with a pass. After controlling the ball, the forward delivered a perfectly weighted assist for Lorran, who simply tapped the ball into the Swiss side’s net.

In the 10th minute, it was Lausanne’s turn to threaten, with a shot that hit the post. In the 21st minute, Samuel Lino had the chance to double Flamengo’s lead, but he sent the ball wide. Then, in the 26th minute, Wallace Yan took advantage of a gift from a Lausanne defender and scored Mengão’s second.

From that point on, head coach Leonardo Jardim made several changes to the team, bringing on starters and youth academy players who had not yet featured. As a result, some players got minutes, but the score remained 2-0 for the Rubro-Negro.
