Vitor Roque taunts Carrascal after Flamengo v Palmeiras match | OneFootball

Injured, Vitor Roque did not play in the match between Flamengo and Palmeiras

After Flamengo’s 3-0 loss to Palmeiras this Saturday (23), in the Brasileirão, striker Vitor Roque aimed taunts at Jorge Carrascal. The Flamengo player left the field early after receiving a red card in the first half.

On social media, Palmeiras’ number 9, who is recovering from a ligament injury, celebrated the score by sharing the song ‘Dizeres’ by Lourena and Sant. The choice of soundtrack was not random. That is because a snippet of the song recently became popular in connection with Jorge Carrascal, in a ‘meme’ that uses the expression ‘Papo de undaia’.

HOW DID THE MATCH GO?

Flamengo started the match intensely, controlling the attacking play and causing problems for Palmeiras’ defense at the Maracanã. With more possession and attacking intent, the Rubro-Negro side looked close to opening the scoring at any moment, while the opponent struggled to organize on the pitch.

However, the course of the match changed drastically still in the first half with the sending-off of Jorge Carrascal. After the midfielder’s red card in the 20th minute, Flamengo lost control of the game, allowing Palmeiras to grow into the match.

As a result, the match was shaped by that moment, making it harder for the Rubro-Negro to maintain its aggressive approach. It is worth noting that Leonardo Jardim kept the team in an attacking setup, without retreating. However, Palmeiras managed to make the most of counterattacks and sealed the 3-0 scoreline.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Already qualified for the Round of 16 of the Libertadores, Flamengo turns the page after the setback in the Brasileirão and will host Cusco (PER). The ball starts rolling next Tuesday (26) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the final round of the continental tournament’s group stage.

Although Leonardo Jardim is planning to field a mixed lineup for the match, the Rubro-Negro is seeking victory to secure the overall top spot in the competition, thus guaranteeing the advantage of deciding the knockout ties at home (Round of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals).
