Flamengo the only G-6 side to win in this Brasileirão round | OneFootball

Away from home, Flamengo beat Grêmio and moved closer to the top

Flamengo went to the Arena do Grêmio last Sunday (10) and completely outplayed the home team. Despite the modest 1-0 scoreline, Fla dominated Grêmio from start to finish. More than that, the Rubro-Negro was the only G-6 team to win in this round of the Brasileirão.

Among the top six teams, Palmeiras (1st) and Fluminense (3rd) still picked up points. Meanwhile, São Paulo (4th), Athletico (5th), and Bahia (6th) lost their respective matches.

What were the results of the G-6 teams' matches?

How did the Brasileirão G-6 teams perform?

Remo 1×1 Palmeiras

Palmeiras faced Remo on Sunday (10), away from home. At Mangueirão, the team from Pará took the lead, but Alviverde equalized before halftime.

The match ended 1-1. However, it is worth noting that Remo was furious with the refereeing over an unawarded penalty and the sending-off of defensive midfielder Zé Ricardo. Palmeiras, on the other hand, complained about a goal being disallowed after a handball by Flaco Lopez.

Corinthians 3×2 São Paulo

Also playing on Sunday, São Paulo had a derby ahead and failed to get any points.

The Tricolor side, currently fourth in the Brasileirão, was second best to Corinthians for most of the game. They went two goals down, but São Paulo pulled one back practically with the last play of the match. So, it is fair to say the team was never really close to equalizing.

Vasco 1×0 Athletico

In the match that closed out the round, Athletico went to São Januário to face Vasco. The home side opened the scoring in the first half and managed to hold on to the lead.

Athletico pressed and, with the final play, nearly found an equalizer, but they were unable to find the net. As a result, the defeat was confirmed.

Fluminense 2×2 Vitória

Playing at the Maracanã, Fluminense opened the scoring and the fans expected a comfortable win. However, Vitória pushed forward and even turned the game around.

Fluminense managed to equalize in stoppage time, through a goal by Kevin Serna. In that context, it is fair to say the team from Laranjeiras still ended up earning a point, considering how the match unfolded.

Bahia 1×2 Cruzeiro

Of all the G-6 teams, it is fair to say the Bahia side had the worst result. After all, they lost at home.

After taking the lead through Luciano Juba, Bahia did not take long to concede the equalizer.

The situation got even worse late in the game, when Cruzeiro scored the winner and there was practically no time left to respond.

What is Flamengo's next match?

After beating Grêmio and cutting the gap to the top of the Brasileirão, Flamengo will face Vitória on Thursday (14) in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.

The match will take place at Barradão, and Flamengo only need a draw to qualify. That is because, at the Maracanã, the Most Beloved won 2-1 and now hold the advantage over the Bahia club.
