Flamengo secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca. That’s because the Most Beloved defeated Sampaio Corrêa this Saturday (07) by 7-1 and avoided the relegation quadrangular.
Flamengo started pressing Sampaio Corrêa this Saturday (07)! At just 34 seconds into the match, Pedro took a shot and almost opened the scoring. Soon after, at five minutes, Paquetá fired a strong shot inside the box, but the goalkeeper made a great save.
Amid Flamengo’s pressure at Maracanã, a sad scene occurred. That’s because Alexandre, a Sampaio Corrêa player, felt unwell on the field and had to leave the match by ambulance. The good news is that the player was already conscious when he left the pitch.
GOAL FOR FLAMENGO! Pedro received a beautiful pass from Carrascal, dribbled past the Sampaio Corrêa defender, and found the back of the net for Flamengo at Maracanã. 1-0 for the Rubro-Negro!
Another goal for Flamengo! Paquetá delivered a genius pass to Samuel Lino inside the box. The left winger then passed it to Pedro, who found the net for the second time at Maracanã! 2-0!
Goal for Sampaio Corrêa! Rodrigo Andrade received a long ball from Guilherme in the final minutes of the first half and chipped it over Andrew. Thus, the first half ended 2-1.
Filipe Luís decided to make some changes right at the start of the second half. Pulgar came on for Plata, while Bruno Henrique replaced Pedro. Finally, Carrascal made way for Wallace Yan.
And another goal for Flamengo! Bruno Henrique came on for Pedro and, after receiving a pass from Samuel Lino, struck first time into the back of the net. A comfortable win for the Rubro-Negro at Maracanã! 3-1!
Samuel Lino! The Flamengo striker also took the opportunity to break his duck at Maracanã. Emerson Royal spotted him inside the box, passed, and the left winger found the net for the Rubro-Negro. 4-1!
The rout keeps growing! Cebolinha came on for Paquetá, received a pass from Evertton Araújo, and headed into the back of Sampaio Corrêa’s net! 5-1 for Flamengo and qualification secured!
The sixth goal came too! Douglas Telles stole the ball and passed to Bruno Henrique. The number 27 from Gávea returned it to the Ninho academy graduate, who fired a powerful shot into the top corner, leaving the Sampaio Corrêa goalkeeper with no chance. 6-1!
