The match

Bragantino were the better side for almost the entire match.

While both teams had 11 players on the pitch, Flamengo even managed to have more possession.

But Leonardo Jardim’s team created little and were punished by brilliant goals.

Isidro Pitta opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a finish that looped over Rossi.

Still in the first half, Gabriel made it 2-0 with a fine strike from outside the box after a short corner routine.

The match became even more favorable for Bragantino at the start of the second half when Pulgar was sent off after forcefully catching Herrera in the face with his arms.

A few minutes later, Lucas Barbosa extended the home side’s lead with a header following a corner into the box.
