Rossi made a truly special save in the final stretch of the game between Flamengo and Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena. After Sunday's (22nd) match, the number 1 of Mengão explained what he did to perform a ‘miracle’ on Yuri Alberto's shot.

— That's what we're here for. At first, I thought Yuri was going to try a bicycle kick. When he controlled the ball, I closed the angle and made the save. I'm happy for the save and for the point we earned, which meant we didn't leave here too upset –, said Rossi in an interview in the mixed zone.
