Carrascal ends 2-month goal drought in Flamengo v Grêmio | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Grêmio with a goal from Jorge Carrascal

Flamengo defeated Grêmio this Sunday (10), 1-0, in the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. The scorer of Flamengo’s goal, Jorge Carrascal ended a two-month ‘drought’ without finding the net in the Sacred Shirt.

That is because the last time Carrascal scored wearing the Flamengo shirt had been in the 2-0 win over Cruzeiro at the Maracanã on March 11. Since then, the Colombian had played ten matches for Mengão and only found the net again this Sunday (10).

How did Jorge Carrascal’s goal happen?

In the 22nd minute of the second half, Léo Ortiz picked out Emerson Royal on the right wing. The full-back then crossed first-time and found Carrascal unmarked inside Grêmio’s box. The Colombian then struck with his left foot into the back of the Rio Grande do Sul side’s net.

What is Carrascal’s situation at Flamengo?

Carrascal, in fact, went through a difficult spell at Flamengo. That is because the Colombian was punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) with a four-match suspension due to red cards in the Supercopa do Brasil against Corinthians and in the Brasileirão against Fluminense.

So, after serving his suspension, Carrascal was once again available to Leonardo Jardim. Chosen as a starter this Sunday (10), the midfielder was crucial in Flamengo’s win over Grêmio.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Carrascal available, Flamengo now turns its focus back to the Copa do Brasil. This Thursday (14), the Rubro-Negro face Vitória again at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Sportv (pay TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
