Show some respect! Flamengo end Fluminense's unbeaten run | OneFootball

Fluminense had not been beaten in 22 home matches

Flamengo beat Fluminense 2-1 this Sunday (12), in a match valid for the 11th round of the Brasileirão. In addition to earning three points, the Rubro-Negro ended their Rio rival’s unbeaten home streak.

That is because Fluminense had gone 22 straight home games at the Maracanã without losing. During that span, Zubeldía’s team had 19 wins and three draws. However, this Sunday (12), Flamengo reinforced its ‘dominance’ and beat the Tricolor club.

How did the Flamengo vs. Fluminense match go?

It is worth noting that Flamengo had no trouble beating Fluminense. Mengão’s first goal came seven minutes into the first half. On that occasion, after Fábio made a mistake while playing out from the back, Pedro tried his luck from very far out and scored a stunning goal, opening the scoring in the derby.

Then, early in the second half, in the fifth minute, Pedro found the net with his chest after a perfect cross from Samuel Lino. Finally, in the 31st minute, Savarino pulled one back for Fluminense, but it was not enough to prevent Flamengo from winning.

What is Flamengo’s situation in the Brasileirão now?

With the win, Flamengo moved up to second place in the Brasileirão table, reaching 20 points. It is worth noting that Mengão has played one game fewer than Palmeiras, the league leaders. On the other hand, Fluminense dropped to third place, with the same number of points as Fla.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now puts the Brasileirão aside and turns its attention back to the Libertadores. This Thursday (16), Leonardo Jardim’s team will face Independiente Medellín (COL) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the second round of the tournament.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín through YouTube, the website and social media. However, ESPN and Disney+ will broadcast the Libertadores match.
