Cry on, rival: Yuri Alberto’s reaction to Flamengo loss is a meme | OneFootball

Yuri Alberto starred in an ‘unusual’ scene during the Flamengo vs Corinthians match

Flamengo overcame Corinthians this Sunday (28th), winning 2-1 in the 25th round of the Brasileirão. Despite the rubro-negro victory, one of the main figures of the match was Yuri Alberto. After all, besides missing a penalty, the number 9 ‘broke down’ in tears after the goal by the São Paulo team.

Starting striker for Corinthians, Yuri Alberto opened the scoring in the classic just two minutes into the second half. Thus, after the goal, the number 9 couldn’t hold back his emotions and cried on the pitch. However, the player’s reaction ended up becoming a ‘meme’, since Flamengo turned the game around with goals from Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo.

Check out the reactions:

Did Yuri Alberto miss a penalty?

Besides the tears, Yuri Alberto was the protagonist in another remarkable moment of the classic. That’s because, still in the first half, Wilton Pereira Sampaio awarded a penalty to Corinthians after Léo Pereira brought down Breno Bidon in the box.

So, when taking the penalty, Yuri Alberto tried to ‘show off’ against Rossi and went for a ‘Panenka’. The Flamengo goalkeeper, however, saved the penalty while sitting on the pitch and took the opportunity to taunt the opposing striker, saying: “Not here.”

What is Flamengo’s next match?

After the victory over Corinthians, Flamengo starts focusing on the ‘final’ of the next round of the Brasileirão. That’s because, on Thursday (02), Filipe Luís’s team faces Cruzeiro at 8:30 pm (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 Flamengo vs Cruzeiro match.
