Fla hold Corinthians after early Paquetá strike and VAR red | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Corinthians and Flamengo drew 1-1 in the Brasileirão. Lucas Paquetá put the visitors ahead in the third minute with a low left-footed finish. Yuri Alberto equalised for the hosts (19.), then Evertton Araújo was sent off for Fla (52.) after a VAR check confirmed the decision. Timão had 54.3% possession and 12 attempts to Fla's 10, but Agustín Rossi preserved the point with assured late handling. Mengão stay fourth while Coringão sit 11th, with Timão visiting Fluminense next and Fla away at RB Bragantino.

Player of the Match: Yuri Alberto led Timão's attack, scoring the equaliser and later drawing a strong save from Agustín Rossi, with two shots on target from six touches in the box.

Stat of the Match: Fla produced 22 clearances, a snapshot of how they dug in after the red card.

Three Things We Learned: Paquetá's early breakthrough highlighted Mengão's midfield threat, and he finished with two attempts and eight possessions won. Timão's control showed in 54.3% possession and a 12–10 attempts edge. Playing a man down after Evertton Araújo's dismissal, Mengão still won 78.6% of their tackles, underlining their resilience.
