The first match this Sunday (28th) took place at 11am (Brasília time), and Grêmio came out on top against Vitória, 3-1. André Henrique, Amuzu, and Aravena scored for the team from Rio Grande do Sul, while Cantalapiedra pulled one back for the red-and-black club.
Soon after, at 4pm (Brasília time), Bahia beat Palmeiras 1-0 with a goal from Ademir. Also, in the Rio de Janeiro derby, Fluminense overcame Botafogo 2-0, with goals from Germán Cano and Lima.
In a clash from the lower half of the table, Bragantino hosted Santos and only managed a 2-2 draw. Lucas Barbosa and Pedro Henrique scored for the Bragança Paulista team, while Lautaro Díaz and Barreal found the net for the visitors.
Flamengo took the field with a ‘mixed’ team to face Corinthians at Neo Química Arena. Thus, the Red and Black had to ‘chase’ the score, as the São Paulo club opened the scoring at the start of the second half with Yuri Alberto. However, with goals from Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo, Mengão came from behind to win.
With Cruzeiro and Palmeiras both losing this round, Flamengo had a ‘perfect’ Sunday (28th). Thus, Mengão ‘pulls away’ at the top with 54 points, while the team from Minas Gerais has 50 and the São Paulo side remains on 49.
Flamengo now faces a ‘final’ in the next round of the Brasileirão. That’s because, on Thursday (2nd), Filipe Luís’s team will face Cruzeiro at 8:30pm (Brasília time) at Maracanã, in the 26th round of the championship.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro.
