Corinthians vs Flamengo: how was the match?

Corinthians built a beautiful play ten minutes into the first half. Raniele started the move and passed to Gui Negão, who gave it to Martínez. The Venezuelan played a first-time pass and launched Matheus Bidu, who crossed perfectly for Yuri Alberto. The number 9 entered the box and shot across goal, but the ball hit the post. On the rebound, Bidon got the ball and was fouled inside the area by Léo Pereira, resulting in a penalty for Timão. Yuri Alberto stepped up, but his chipped shot was poor and went straight into Rossi’s hands, wasting a golden opportunity.

At 24 minutes, Yuri Alberto had another clear chance. Matheuzinho passed to Bidon, who made a quick touch to get past Viña’s marking and played a great ball to the number 9, who entered the box and finished one-on-one, but Rossi came out and made the save.

At 43 minutes, Flamengo had their best chance of the first half. Arrascaeta passed to Samuel Lino, who sped forward and played it back. The Uruguayan shot first time but sent it over the goal. A minute later, Carrascal found a good pass to Samuel Lino, who went one-on-one with Hugo and shot, but was blocked by João Pedro Tchoca.

Second half

It was right in the first minute of the second half that Yuri Alberto redeemed himself. Gui Negão launched the number 9, who made a subtle touch to dribble past Léo Ortiz and escape the marking. Once again face-to-face with Rossi, the striker, this time, finished and found the net, opening the scoring at the Arena.

Just a few minutes later, however, Flamengo equalized again. Corinthians’ defense watched as Flamengo exchanged passes near the box. Carrascal found Arrascaeta free in the area and the Uruguayan shot to score, leveling the match at 1-1.

At 42 minutes, Flamengo turned the game around in Itaquera. Flamengo recovered the ball in midfield, and Carrascal set up Luiz Araújo inside the box. The striker finished across goal, first time, and scored the winning goal.
