Arrascaeta rues “small details” that cost Flamengo the win | OneFootball

The leadership of the Brazilian Championship was maintained, but the feeling in Flamengo's locker room was one of frustration. After opening the score and controlling most of the game, the team conceded a 1-1 draw to Grêmio at the end of the match, stumbling at home and missing the chance to pull away at the top of the table.

On leaving the field, the captain and scorer of the red-black goal, Giorgian de Arrascaeta, lamented the victory that slipped through their fingers.

The Uruguayan, who scored a beautiful goal at the beginning of the second half after a one-two with Pedro, summed up the team's feeling. For him, the team needs to pay attention to the decisive moments that have cost precious points.

"Unfortunately we couldn't come out with the victory, it ended up slipping away at the end," analyzed Flamengo's number 14, to Globo. "There are small details that we have to correct, but it's done, now we will improve for the next game."

Despite the frustration with the collective result, Arrascaeta celebrated his return to the nets, which put him back in the vice-artillery of the Brasileirão with 12 goals, and reaffirmed his commitment to helping Flamengo in every way. "I'm happy to help the team, whether with a goal or an assist," added the captain.

The draw keeps Flamengo at the top with 47 points, now with a three-point advantage over second-placed Cruzeiro. The team returns to the field next weekend, when they visit Juventude. Grêmio, with the point earned, goes to 25 and hosts Mirassol.
