Red-and-black squad prepares for postponed match from the fourth round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo beat Botafogo 3-0 in the derby valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship last Sunday (30). With no time to rest, the red-and-black squad returns on the morning of this Monday (31) at Ninho do Urubu.

According to the schedule released by Flamengo, the red-and-black players are set to train at 10 a.m. (Brasília time) this Monday (31). That way, at Ninho do Urubu, Leonardo Jardim begins preparing the squad to face Mirassol.

How did the derby win happen?

In short, Flamengo opened the scoring 12 minutes into the first half of the derby against Botafogo. Jorginho positioned himself between the two black-and-white defenders during the build-up, lifted his head and delivered a long pass to Samuel Lino behind the defense. That left the red-and-black forward with only the task of controlling it and finishing past Gabriel Batista, making it 1-0 for the Rubro-Negro side.

Afterward, Fla started the second half with the “traditional blackout.” Even so, in the closing stretch of the second half, in the 40th minute, Samuel Lino found the net again. The move began with a distribution from Rossi, who launched the counterattack with Jorge Carrascal. The Colombian advanced with the ball under control and slipped a great pass through to number 16. At that moment, the forward produced a delicate chip, lobbing Gabriel Batista.

Finally, Jorge Carrascal sealed the score in the 43rd minute of the second half. The Colombian won the ball during Botafogo’s build-up and fed Jorginho, who played it first time to Lino. After a pass from Everton Cebolinha, number 15 struck it first time into Gabriel Batista’s bottom corner, scoring a beauty and wrapping up Flamengo’s 3-0 win.

What is Fla’s situation in the table?

With the win over Botafogo, Flamengo earned three points and reached 48 in the Brazilian Championship standings. As a result, the Rubro-Negro side remains in second place, now four points behind Palmeiras (52), who were held to a 1-1 draw by Mirassol.
