In the 41st minute of the second half, Wesley managed to turn the game around for Flamengo. The play started after a good run by Viña, who found Wallace Yan at the entrance of the penalty area. In the sequence, the striker gave a pass to Wesley, who, with a low shot, got the better of Bragantino's goalkeeper Cleiton.
Wesley may have played his last game with the Flamengo jersey. This is because everything is already settled between the player and Roma (ITA). However, for the negotiation to be finalized, the 'ok' from Rubro-Negro is still missing. The tendency is for the final answer to happen by the end of this week.
With goals from Wesley and Léo Pereira, Flamengo remains alive in the pursuit of leader Cruzeiro. At the moment, Mengão is the second-placed team in the Brasileirão, with 33 points, one less than the mining team. In addition, the triumph puts an end to the club's taboo in games played in Bragança Paulista.
After the victory over Bragantino, Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (27) to face Atlético-MG, in the Brasileirão. The game takes place at 20:30 (Brasília time), at the Maracanã. Coluna do Fla will have coverage 'in loco' by reporters Leo José and Rodrigo Lima, on YouTube. Finally, the Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the game.
