Flamengo beat Bahia 2-0 at the Maracanã to remain second in the Brasileirão.
In the 17th minute Giorgian de Arrascaeta swept in from the centre of the box after Pedro's lay-off, and moments later he was booked for excessive celebration (18.).
After the restart De Arrascaeta glanced a header against the left post (56.). Agustín Rossi kept Fla in control with sharp saves from Erick Pulga and Cristian Olivera.
A double change lifted Mengão. Saúl Níguez arrived from the bench (79.), and from his ensuing corner Lucas Paquetá rifled into the top left (80.).
Fla produced 20 attempts, with eight on target and six corners. Tricolor Baiano mustered 13 attempts and five on target.
