Vini Jr teases Palmeiras after Flamengo win in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo Tied with Palmeiras at the Top of the Brasileirão

Flamengo won the direct clash against Palmeiras this Sunday (19), by 3 to 2, in the 29th round of the Brasileirão. Developed in the youth categories of Mengão, Vinicius Junior celebrated the triumph of the Rubro-Negro against the São Paulo team.

Through a social media post, Vinicius Júnior celebrated the victories of Real Madrid and Flamengo: “We got it here, we got it there.” It is worth noting that the forward played for 40 minutes in the Spanish team's victory over Getafe (ESP), by 1 to 0.

How was the game?

The first half of the match was quite balanced, but Flamengo managed to make better use of the chances. Arrascaeta opened the scoring for Mengão at ten minutes into the game, after a sensational pass from Pedro. Shortly after, at 24′, Vitor Roque equalized for Palmeiras.

After Palmeiras' goal, however, Flamengo grew in the game and began to dominate the actions. At 42 minutes of the first half, Jorginho masterfully took a penalty and put Fla back in the lead, while Pedro extended the score at 45′. Finally, Gustavo Gómez reduced the deficit in the final moments of the second half.

How are Flamengo and Palmeiras in the Brasileirão?

With the victory this Sunday (19), Flamengo matched Palmeiras' 61 points, but remains in second place in the Brasileirão. This is because the first tiebreaker criterion of the championship is the number of victories. Thus, Abel Ferreira's team has the advantage over Mengão: 19 x 18.

What is Flamengo's next game?

With Vini Jr watching as a fan, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (22) to face Racing (ARG). The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the semifinal of the Libertadores.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Racing game.
