How was the game?

The first half of the decision was tense with few opportunities. Flamengo started better and came close at 11 minutes, with a shot from Arrascaeta that deflected off Palmeiras' defense and went out for a corner. At 14 minutes, Varela found a good deep pass to Bruno Henrique, who sprinted freely and shot over Carlos Miguel's goal. Samuel Lino also threatened with a low shot at 15 minutes.

Verdão gradually adjusted and responded at 20 minutes. Khellven received on the right and crossed perfectly for Vitor Roque, who headed poorly and saw the ball go over the crossbar.

Controversial Moment

The game became rough with many fouls. At 30 minutes, Pulgar was involved in a controversial incident. With the game already stopped, the Chilean stomped on Bruno Fuchs' shin, who fell to the ground. Palmeiras players called for a red card, but the referee only issued a yellow.

The pace of the match slowed until, at 42 minutes, Flamengo managed to connect a good attacking play. After a pass from Carrascal, Bruno Henrique reached the ball before Carlos Miguel and poked it with his toes, but Piquerez cleared the danger.

Murilo Scares

Murilo gave Palmeiras fans a big scare early in the second half. At six minutes, the defender made a mistake in ball clearance and gave it away to Bruno Henrique, who passed to Arrascaeta inside the area. The Uruguayan shot across, but was blocked by Gustavo Gómez.

Flamengo Takes the Lead

Flamengo took the lead at 21 minutes. Arrascaeta delivered a precise corner kick to Danilo, who rose very high, with extreme freedom, and headed firmly into Carlos Miguel's corner. The ball glanced off the post before settling in the net.

Palmeiras Pressures, But Can't Equalize

Palmeiras launched an attack and tried to pressure the Rubro-Negro for an equalizer but couldn't succeed. At 30 minutes, Felipe Anderson invaded the area from the left and attempted a cross but was blocked by Pulgar. At 43 minutes, Vitor Roque missed a chance right in front of the goal. After a header from Gustavo Gómez, the ball stayed alive in the small area, and the number 9 finished alone but shot over.
