The 12th round of the Brazilian Championship came to an end last Sunday (19), after Flamengo beat Bahia 2-0. As a result, only Lucas Paquetá was included in SporTV’s Team of the Round after the ten matches played.
Pedro Rangel (Coritiba); Guga (Fluminense), Gustavo Gómez (Palmeiras), Willian Machado (Mirassol), Arthur (Palmeiras); Edenílson (Botafogo), Gerson (Cruzeiro), Lucas Paquetá (Flamengo); Savarino (Fluminense), Matheus Martins (Botafogo), Pitta (Red Bull Bragantino).
That means Flamengo has only one representative in the Team of the Round. Mirassol, Cruzeiro, Coritiba and Red Bull Bragantino also have one player each. Finally, Fluminense, Botafogo and Palmeiras placed two players each in the ideal lineup.
Lucas Paquetá scored a stunning goal in Flamengo’s win over Bahia last Sunday (19). After a corner taken by De La Cruz, Saúl Ñíguez flicked it on at the near post. The midfielder then unleashed a rocket to score Flamengo’s second goal in the 2-0 win.
Despite the great goal, Lucas Paquetá left the match feeling pain in his knee. This Monday (20), the Flamengo midfielder underwent medical tests, and no injury was found in the area. However, the Rubro-Negro club is expected to rest the player for the next two matches.
So, without Lucas Paquetá, Flamengo return to the field this Wednesday (22) against Vitória at the Maracanã at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the Copa do Brasil. In this way, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information on the clash live from the stadium.
