Miracle goal: Léo Ortiz ends Atlético-MG keeper’s time-wasting vs Flamengo | OneFootball

Did Everson feel pain during the game against Flamengo?

Flamengo won against Atlético-MG by 1-0 on the night of Sunday (27), in the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game was eventful, and a curious fact caught attention: Léo Ortiz's 'miraculous' goal. This is because the play seems to have cured all the pain that Éverson, the goalkeeper of the Minas Gerais team, had been feeling throughout the duel.

Since the beginning of the game, Éverson seemed to have problems. At some moments, the goalkeeper complained of pain in his legs. At one point, a simple laser seemed to have hurt the athlete, as he even threw himself to the ground to complain about the light. However, the miracle happened at 29 minutes into the second half, with Léo Ortiz's goal.

How was the play that cured Everson?

After Wallace Yan started a run on the left and was fouled, Luiz Araújo took responsibility for the free kick. With skill, the number 7 lifted the ball into the area, and Léo Ortiz headed it strongly, with no chance of defense. From then on, Éverson was cured of his pain. The goalkeeper, who until that moment had difficulty even standing, began to run and even appeared outside the area to cut off plays.

Has Everson had trouble against Flamengo before?

This was not the first time that Éverson had a bad time against Flamengo and ended up losing. He was already the goalkeeper of Atlético-MG in 2022, for example. In that season, the teams faced each other in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The Minas Gerais team took the lead, opening 2-0, and the goalkeeper started to make a fuss. Still in the first game, Flamengo managed to reduce the score to 2-1, with a goal from Lázaro.

The final punishment, however, occurred in the return game. This is because, with the Maracanã stadium packed, Flamengo won 2-0, with two goals from Arrascaeta. The game was filled with provocations and irony, both to Éverson and other Atlético-MG players, such as Hulk and Guilherme Arana.

Will Flamengo face Éverson again?

Coincidentally, Flamengo's next game will be against Atlético-MG. The teams will face each other in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The first match is scheduled for 9:30 PM on Thursday (31), at the Maracanã stadium. Therefore, the tendency is that Éverson will face Flamengo again this week.
