Danilo reveals Flamengo plan after Araújo red card v Corinthians | OneFootball

What did Danilo say about the second half of the Flamengo vs Corinthians match?

Flamengo had to play with one player less during almost the entire second half against Corinthians this Sunday (22). Thus, Danilo explained what strategy Mais Querido adopted during this period of the game.

— We wanted to win the game, obviously. But we took the game to a place that would be more comfortable for us, closing the spaces. Corinthians had more space on the outside and crosses, we tried to defend man to man as well, but there is frustration with the draw because even with one man down we wanted to win -, he said.

What happened during Evertton Araújo's expulsion?

Evertton Araújo challenged for the ball with Breno Bidon seven minutes into the second half. The Flamengo player touched the ball first and then stepped on the Corinthians player's foot. The referee, therefore, gave a straight red card to the red-black midfielder.

The VAR even tried to assist referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima by calling him to review the play. Despite this, the referee upheld the decision and expelled Evertton Araújo, leaving Flamengo with one less player for almost the entire second half.

When is Flamengo's next match?

Flamengo will now have some time to rest until the next match. The Rubro-Negro returns to the field only on April 2nd, against Red Bull Bragantino, away, for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
