Samuel Lino, Erick Pulgar and Lucas Paquetá suspended for Flamengo’s next Brasileirão match | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Corinthians 2-1 in the 27th round, but will be without Samuel Lino, Erick Pulgar and Lucas Paquetá for their next Brasileirão fixture due to yellow-card suspensions. According to Coluna Do Fla, each received a third booking and must sit out against Red Bull Bragantino.

After a goalless first half despite heavy pressure, the hosts struck two minutes after the restart. Arrascaeta’s corner was palmed out by Hugo Souza, allowing Lucas Paquetá to control the rebound and fire in at the Maracanã.

Corinthians levelled on 32 minutes of the second half when Breno Bidon released Kaio César, who combined with Garro before squaring for Gui Negão to finish for 1-1.

On 43 minutes, substitute Bruno Henrique settled it for Flamengo. Samuel Lino worked the ball with Jorginho, who found Joaquín Freitas on the left, and the Argentine crossed for the captain to score.

The victory lifted Flamengo to 57 points and back to the summit, one clear of Palmeiras on 56 after round 27.

Flamengo host Red Bull Bragantino in round 28 at 18:30 Brasília time at the Maracanã on Sunday. Before then, they turn to the Libertadores, facing Independiente del Valle in the quarter-final second leg on Thursday at 21:30, also at the Maracanã.

Having won the first leg 2-0 in Quito, Ecuador, Flamengo carry an advantage and can lose by up to one goal and still advance to the semi-finals.
