Flamengo only managed a 1-1 draw against Ceará this Sunday (03), at Arena Castelão, in a match for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, in addition to the poor result, the red-black team also lost Jorginho for the next match. The midfielder is suspended against Mirassol.
At 27 minutes into the second half, Jorginho committed a foul and received a yellow card. Having already been warned in the matches against Red Bull Bragantino and Santos, he is now suspended from Flamengo's next match. As a result, the Italo-Brazilian will not face Mirassol at Maracanã.
Despite playing away from home, Flamengo dominated the first half and took the lead with a beautiful collective play between Léo Ortiz, Gonzalo Plata and Arrascaeta. The Uruguayan midfielder opened the scoring at 37 minutes. However, Ceará equalized with Pedro Raul at 22′ of the complementary stage.
With the draw at Arena Castelão, Flamengo reached 37 points and remains at the top of the Brazilian Championship. However, Cruzeiro, who defeated Botafogo in Rio de Janeiro by 2 to 0, reached the same score. However, the Most Beloved has one less match and a better goal difference.
Before thinking about the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo has a decisive match against Atlético-MG on Wednesday (06). The team, led by Filipe Luís, faces the Minas Gerais team at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, in a match valid for the second leg of the round of 16.
