Yuri Alberto’s cheeky chip fails, embarrassed in Flamengo v Corinthians | OneFootball

Agustín Rossi saved another penalty wearing the Flamengo jersey

After a ‘heroic’ night against Estudiantes (ARG) last Thursday (25), Rossi was once again decisive wearing the Flamengo jersey. After all, in the match against Corinthians this Sunday (28), the Argentine saved a penalty taken by Yuri Alberto, who tried to chip the ball over the red-black goalkeeper.

The penalty for Corinthians was awarded after Léo Pereira brought down Breno Bidon inside the box. Wilton Pereira Sampaio, who was close to the play, immediately pointed to the spot. So, when taking the penalty, Yuri Alberto tried to show off against Rossi, but ended up embarrassing himself in the game.

Rossi is used to saving penalties?

It’s worth noting that this is not the first time Rossi has saved a penalty with the Sacred Mantle. That’s because, last Thursday (25), the Argentine goalkeeper was decisive in Flamengo’s qualification for the semifinals of the Libertadores, against Estudiantes.

With Estudiantes’ 1-0 win in regular time, the spot in the Libertadores semifinals was decided by penalties. That’s when Rossi’s star shone and the goalkeeper saved two shots from the Argentine team. Thus, Flamengo will face Racing (ARG) in pursuit of a spot in the tournament final.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

While Flamengo faces Corinthians, the red-black fans are already starting to think about Mengão’s next challenge. That’s because, on Thursday (02), Filipe Luís’ team will face 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 match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro.
