Flamengo draw a blank for the second match running in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo lost the lead in the Brasileirão after defeat to Bahia

With the best attack in the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo went into the second consecutive game without being able to score goals in the tournament. This Sunday (05), the Most Loved lost the 27th round of the Brasileirão 1-0 to Bahia.

Before failing to score against Bahia, Flamengo also drew a blank against Cruzeiro last Thursday (02). However, in the clash with the Minas Gerais team, the Red-Black ended in a 0-0 draw.

Now, against Bahia, Flamengo lost the game 1-0. In addition, it is worth noting that the team led by Rogério Ceni played most of the match with one less player, as defender Danilo was sent off 12 minutes into the first half.

After that, Flamengo had another player sent off in the second half, from the 34th minute. That's because, Wallace Yan, who had just entered the match, received practically two yellow cards in a row and, with that, came the red.

When was the last game that Flamengo scored a goal?

The last Brasileirão match in which Flamengo managed to score was in the turnaround against Corinthians, by 2-1, in the 25th round of the tournament. On that occasion, the red-black goals were scored by Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo.

What is Flamengo's situation in the table?

With the defeat to Bahia, Flamengo also lost the lead in the Brasileirão. Currently, the Most Loved has the same 55 points as Palmeiras, but is in second place due to the number of victories by the São Paulo team, which is higher.

What is Fla's next game?

Now, Flamengo only returns to the field on October 15, when it faces Botafogo, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. It is important to note that, until then, the national calendar will be paused due to FIFA Date.

On the return of Brazilian football, Flamengo has the classic against Botafogo, at Engenhão, starting at 7:30 pm (Brasília time). The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, through pay-per-view.
