Flamengo conceded Vasco’s equalizer in the final minute of the match

Flamengo were held to a 2-2 draw by Vasco this Sunday (03), in the 14th round of the Brasileirão. Despite taking a 2-0 lead, the Rubro-Negro saw their performance drop and allowed their Rio rivals to come back. Scorer of Flamengo’s first goal, Pedro lamented the result.

— There was no lapse, no mistake. We were 2-0 up, the game was under control, and we were dominating. They started sending balls into the box and scored two goals from crosses — he said, before adding:

— It’s a derby, it’s decided by details. Unfortunately, we let them put us under pressure at the end, and we didn’t want the draw, we wanted the win. But we have to keep working to win every game — concluded Pedro.
