Flamengo played their second mid-season friendly in Portugal this Wednesday (08). At Estádio Algarve, Leonardo Jardim’s team beat Lausanne Sport (SUI) 2-0, with goals from Lorran and Wallace Yan. As a result, the Rubro-Negro secured their first win during this stay in Portugal.
As expected, Flamengo started the match controlling possession. The first Rubro-Negro chance came in the ninth minute after Cebolinha was fouled, but the No. 11 ended up shooting over the goal.
Then, in the 15th minute, Wallace Yan received a pass from Joshua and struck toward the goalkeeper Castella’s left corner, but he made an impressive save and denied Flamengo the opener. Shortly after, in the 32nd minute, Cebolinha delivered a beautiful cross to the No. 64, but the forward hit the side netting.
Right after that, in the 39th minute, Cebolinha tried a shot from outside the box, but once again was stopped by goalkeeper Castella. So, despite creating the best chances, the Rubro-Negro could not break the deadlock, and the teams went into halftime at 0-0.
Right after the break, Leonardo Jardim brought on Ayrton Lucas at right-back in place of Emerson Royal, while Lorran came on for Luiz Araújo. And it was from the feet of the Ninho graduate that Flamengo’s first goal against Lausanne came.
In the sixth minute, Johnny started a move down the left side of the attack and found Wallace Yan with a pass. After controlling the ball, the forward delivered a perfectly weighted assist for Lorran, who simply tapped the ball into the Swiss side’s net.
In the 10th minute, it was Lausanne’s turn to threaten, with a shot that struck the post. In the 21st minute, Samuel Lino had the chance to extend Flamengo’s lead, but shot wide. Then, in the 26th minute, Wallace Yan capitalized on a gift from a Lausanne defender and scored Mengão’s second.
From that point on, coach Leonardo Jardim made several changes to the team, bringing on starters and youth players who had not yet featured. As a result, some players got valuable minutes, but the score stayed 2-0 in favor of the Rubro-Negro.
Flamengo will now return to the field to face Benfica (POR) this Saturday (11), in the third and final friendly of their mid-season stay in Portugal. Kickoff is set for 3:00 p.m. Brasília time, also at Estádio Algarve.
