How was the Brasileirão match?

It is worth noting that the first half of the match between Flamengo and Internacional was balanced. Although the Red-Black controlled most of the ball possession, Fla's attack couldn't create great chances.

Moreover, in the stoppage time of the first half, at 48 minutes, Borré took advantage of a counterattack to open the scoring for Inter. Thus, after the break, Flamengo needed to chase the score.

And that's what happened! At 21 minutes into the second half, Varela was brought down by Bernabei inside the area, and referee Rodrigo Pereira awarded a penalty to the Most Beloved. Thus, Arrascaeta leveled the score, securing a point for Fla.
