Tension in the 1st half

The first clear chance was in favor of Galo, with Rony almost celebrating.

Atlético had success in most of the initial stage, with individualized markings and long balls, managing to contain the Rubro-Negro momentum.

As the minutes passed, Flamengo was able to gain more space.

The controversy came after a foul by Fausto Vera on Plata. It was a penalty and turned into a foul outside the area, but without a red card.

Flamengo went on the pressure before the interval - and complained again about Ramon Abatti Abel.

Galo, in turn, had a great chance in a counterattack, but Hulk preferred to pass.

Fla lethal from above

The "start" of the second half was a truncated game with little inspiration from both sides.

Flamengo had more possession and volume. But continued to find it difficult against a good marking.

Luiz Araújo took a free kick "with his hand" and Léo Ortiz scored his fourth goal from above this season (30').

The sequence was of unsuccessful attempts by both sides.
