Filipe Luís reveals why Flamengo failed to beat Vasco in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo took the lead, wasted chances, but couldn’t beat Vasco

Flamengo only managed a draw with Vasco, 1-1, last Sunday (21), in a match for the Brazilian Championship. After the game, coach Filipe Luís commented on the factors that prevented the red-and-black team from coming away with a win against their rivals.

— We started well, controlling, finding spaces and solutions, until we scored the goal. Then we had some breakaways, but Vasco set up individual marking and we lost control. We started to rush things too much and that was Vasco’s best moment, but without creating chances or volume. Until they tied the game with the corner kick — said Filipe Luís.

— We had very clear chances to score, they had some, but none very clear. That’s a derby. It’s a draw we didn’t count on, we wanted to win the game. It’s a result that leaves us sad, but it’s absolutely normal when you come from a sequence with less than three days to recover — he added.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

Flamengo took the lead with a goal from Jorge Carrascal. However, still in the first half, Vasco equalized the match at Maracanã. In the second half, the Most Beloved wasted some chances and couldn’t secure all three points.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo puts the Brazilian Championship aside and turns its focus back to the Copa Libertadores. The red-and-black team faces Estudiantes (ARG) on Thursday (25), for the second leg of the quarterfinals, in Argentina.

Thus, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match, which takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Estádio Jorge Luis Hirschi. In addition, ESPN, on pay TV, and Disney+, via streaming, will also broadcast the match.
