Nothing victorious about this Sunday’s (26) Flamengo vs. São Paulo.

Léo Pereira put the Rubro-Negro ahead, but Tricolor fought back to make it 1-1 at the Maracanã thanks to Calleri.

A result valid for Matchday 20 of the Brasileirão.

And one that was not good for either team. 

Check out the highlights below. 


More football was needed...

The first half was evenly balanced in terms of control of the game.

The best chance for the Rubro-Negro came through Pulgar, who smashed the ball against the crossbar.

BH, Lorran and Lino lacked inspiration. Pedro, meanwhile, was not involved as much as he would have liked.

Tricolor, for their part, succeeded in containing the opposition’s momentum.

But they did not create any real danger. Marcos Antônio even scored, but he was offside.


Excitement until the end

Flamengo looked to respond right after the break.

Bruno Henrique was only denied by a save from Rafael.

Then, soon after, a corner taken by Lorran ended with Léo Pereira celebrating (57'). 

São Paulo’s response also came in the air, with Calleri finishing off a cross from Osório (71'). 

Flamengo were the side that pushed harder in the closing stages.

They even found the net through Samuel Lino in the 91st minute, but the offside was confirmed. 


📊 Standings and schedule 📅

Flamengo — still with a game in hand — moved to 38 points. Six fewer than leaders Palmeiras, who were beaten by Atlético. 

The Rubro-Negro will be back in action on Wednesday (29), when they travel to Porto Alegre to face Internacional.

SPFC, meanwhile, moved to 26 points. They are in 12th place after going seven straight league matches without a win — four defeats and three draws. 

The match against Santos was postponed — their rivals have a Copa Sudamericana clash — and, because of that, Tricolor will only return to the field in the league on the 8th.

They will be away to Grêmio in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.
