Carrascal shines: 2 assists v Corinthians, 3rd game with goal involvement | OneFootball

Carrascal started in the derby and ‘carried’ Flamengo’s comeback over Corinthians

Flamengo came from behind to defeat Corinthians 2-1 this Sunday (28), in the 25th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Starting in the derby, Jorge Carrascal ‘shone’ on the field and provided assists for both Mengão goals.

Carrascal formed a midfield duo alongside Arrascaeta this Sunday (28). Thus, ten minutes into the second half, the Colombian took advantage of a cross and ‘rolled’ the ball to the number 10 in the six-yard box. The Uruguayan then found the back of the net for Mengão.

And the second assist?

Carrascal’s involvement in goals, however, didn’t stop there. That’s because, at the 42nd minute of the second half, the Colombian received a pass from Royal and found Luiz Araújo on the left wing. Alone in the Corinthians box, the number 7 slotted the ball into Hugo Souza’s left corner.

Three consecutive goal involvements?

It’s worth noting that Carrascal has now been involved in goals for three consecutive matches in the Brasileirão. That’s because, in the derby against Vasco last Sunday (21), the Colombian opened the scoring in the 11th minute of the first half, capitalizing on a rebound from a shot by Bruno Henrique.

How is Flamengo’s situation?

With the win over Corinthians, Flamengo extended their lead at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro, reaching 54 points. Right behind, Cruzeiro remains in second place with 50, while Palmeiras has 49 points.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now faces a ‘final’ in the next round of the Brasileirão. That’s because, on Thursday (02), Filipe Luís’s team faces Cruzeiro at 8:30pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the championship.

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.
