Flamengo completely dominated and thrashed Atlético-MG 4-0 this Sunday (26), in the 13th round of the Brasileirão. After the derby win, the Rubro-Negro took the opportunity to mock their out-of-state rival on social media.
Through a social media post, Flamengo shared a photo of a vulture with a knocked-out rooster on the ground. In addition, the Rubro-Negro taunted Atlético-MG by calling Arena MRV ‘Gonzalo Plata Arena’. That’s because the Ecuadorian likes scoring at the Minas Gerais stadium.
Flamengo put on a real show in the first half. With goals from Pedro, Gonzalo Plata and Arrascaeta, Leonardo Jardim’s team ‘killed off the game’ and managed the match until halftime.
What’s more, in the second half, Flamengo avoided taking risks in attack. As a result, the Rubro-Negro only had another shot at 40 minutes into the second half, but found the net. On that occasion, Pedro scored again, ‘putting the final nail in Atlético-MG’s coffin.’
After the win in the Brasileirão, Flamengo now turns its focus back to the Libertadores. This Wednesday (29), the Rubro-Negro faces Estudiantes (ARG) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in the third round of the continental tournament.
So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the Flamengo match through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
