Yuri Alberto responds after missed penalty in Flamengo v Corinthians | OneFootball

Corinthians Striker Tried to ‘Draw’ a Penalty Against Agustín Rossi

Yuri Alberto was at the center of an ‘embarrassing’ moment during Flamengo’s 2-1 victory over Corinthians this Sunday (28th). In the first half, the São Paulo team was awarded a penalty, and the number 9 tried to chip the ball over Rossi, the red-and-black goalkeeper.

As a result, Agustín Rossi saved the penalty while sitting down and then taunted the Corinthians striker, saying: “Not here”. Amid criticism from the Corinthians fans, Yuri Alberto spoke out and apologized for the situation.

How Did Yuri Alberto Perform?

The penalty kick, however, wasn’t the only unusual moment involving Yuri Alberto in the derby. After all, the number 9 found the net against Mengão at the start of the second half, just two minutes in, and broke down in tears right after.

After Yuri Alberto’s goal, Flamengo grew into the game and started to control the action. Then, just ten minutes into the second half, Arrascaeta equalized for Mengão. Finally, in the 42nd minute, Luiz Araújo appeared alone on the left wing and scored for the Most Beloved.

What is Flamengo’s Next Match?

While Yuri Alberto tries to bounce back, Flamengo begins preparations for their next fixture of the season. This Thursday (02), Filipe Luís’s team faces Cruzeiro at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Cruzeiro match.
